This may be a little crude but it works. I'm not one who uses the "apply
templates" very often.
Here's the stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:variable name="totalB" select="count(test/a/b)"/>
<xsl:template match="test">
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tbody>
<xsl:for-each select="a">
<xsl:variable name="countB" select="count(b)"/>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="b">
<td>
<xsl:attribute name="colspan">
<xsl:value-of select="$totalB - $countB"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here's the output:
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td colspan="1">ab</td>
<td colspan="1">ab</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">abcd</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps.
