I am sure this has already been answered but I can't find a fit that works.

I have a list of nodes that I want to display into three collums.

Here is the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:variable name="rootPage" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::root"/>
<xsl:variable name="propertyAlias" select="/macro/PropertyAlias"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:variable name="homepage" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::MainMaster"/>
<xsl:variable name="nodeIds" select="umbraco.library:Split($homepage/*[name()=$propertyAlias],',')" />

<ul id="footernav">
<xsl:for-each select="$nodeIds/value">
<xsl:variable name="linkNone" select="$rootPage//*[@isDoc][@id = string(current()/.)]"/>
<xsl:if test="string-length($linkNone/@id)> 0">
<li>
<xsl:attribute name="class">
<xsl:if test="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[@level &gt; 1]/@id = $linkNone/@id">
<xsl:text>selected</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="position() = last()">
<xsl:text> last</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:attribute>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($linkNone/umbracoUrlAlias) > 0">
<a class="main-link" href="{$linkNone/umbracoUrlAlias}"><xsl:value-of select="$linkNone/@nodeName"/></a>
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>
<a class="main-link" href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($linkNone/@id)}"><xsl:value-of select="$linkNone/@nodeName"/></a>
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</li>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
