Hi Alain.

Thanks for the feedback.  Actually, I found a small quirk with this code.
 In the code you have below, instead of 2 xf:output, if you use just one
with a concat, it works fine.  Looks like after the first xf:output it
looses the cols index.

Anyway, with this problem kind of solved I have another one that maybe you
can help me:  As I display the matrix I need to highlight a cell that
matches a condition for both the row and col.  For example, let's say I
want to highlight in green the cell that has both the row and col with the
word "test".  That means that I need to rely on the position() function to
check the contents of the row and cell, not the index which is updated
every time a node becomes current.   But, position() only applies to the
current context.  So in the inside repeat for the cols I need to check the
content of the row in the outside repeat, but position() does not work.  So
the question is:  how can I reference the position of the outside repeat
while it's happening so I can manipulate the display of the cell?  I tried
instance('irows')/row/position() but it fails.  Hope this makes sense :-)

Thanks
Elias
