I have a "blog" made with XML and XLST.
This is the format of the blog:

<par> The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-21; NATO reporting name: Fishbed) is a supersonic jet fighter aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was popularly nicknamed "balalaika", from the aircraft's planform-view resemblance to the Russian stringed musical instrument or ołówek (English: pencil) by Polish pilots due to the shape of its fuselage.[2]
Early versions are considered second-generation jet fighters, while later versions are considered to be third-generation jet fighters. Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The fighter made aviation records. At least by name, it is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War, and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft (1959 to 1985 over all variants).

There are a lot of problems with your HTML. I cleaned up what I could, but there's a lot more to fix. You shouldn't be using tables for layout, but if you must do so, at the very least, you should not have <br/ >s and <hr />s directly below a table element, <td>s must be directly under <tr>s, and <tr>s must be directly below <table>s.

From the following xml data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="kandidaten.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<auswertung>
<kandidat>
<name>Peter</name>
<punkte>67</punkte>
</kandidat>
<kandidat>
<name>Karl</name>
<punkte>87</punkte>
</kandidat>
<kandidat>
<name>Anita</name>
<punkte>36</punkte>
</kandidat>
<kandidat>
<name>Rosi</name>
<punkte>67</punkte>
</kandidat>
<kandidat>

<punkte>50</punkte>
</kandidat>
<kandidat>
<name>Paul</name>
<punkte>45</punkte>
</kandidat>
</auswertung>
I want to create the following output with xslt:
To this end I wrote the following xslt code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

<title>Kandidaten</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Kandidaten und ihre Punkte</h1>
<hr/>
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="kandidat">
<xsl:sort select="punkte" order="descending"></xsl:sort>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="kandidat">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="name/text()"/>
</td>
<!-- second columns of table is supposed to contain the -->
<!-- points ("punkte") of the respective candidate ("kandidat") -->
<td>
<!-- second column contains a paragraph whose background-color is blue -->
<p bgcolor="#0000ff">
<xsl:call-template name="create_empty_space">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="punkte/text()"/>
<xsl:with-param name="number" select="punkte/text()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="create_empty_space">
<xsl:param name="count"/>
<xsl:param name="number"/>
<!-- print number (points achieved by candidate) in the middle of the beam -->
<xsl:if test="$count = round($number div 2)">
<font color="#ffff00">
<xsl:value-of select="$number"/>
</font>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$count > 0">
<!-- amount of empty space created is supposed to depend on the number of -->
<!--points, therefore function "create_empty_space" is called recursively-->
<!-- depending on the number of points -->
<!--... example: if points==20, function is called 20 times -->
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="create_empty_space">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="$count - 1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="number" select="$number"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When I run the code, all beams have the same size, though.
How can I make the length of the beams correspond to the number of points of the respective candidate?
Since you're using xml-stylesheet in your XML input, I doubt you're really using a 2.0 processor.
Like Martin suggested, the first items width should be 100% and the width of the remaining items should be computed based on the first (max).
Here's a modified version of your XSLT...
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<!--This is easier in XSLT 2.0:
<xsl:variable name="maxPoints" select="max(/*/kandidat/punkte)"/>
-->
<xsl:variable name="maxPoints">
<xsl:for-each select="/*/kandidat">
<xsl:sort select="punkte" order="descending"/>
<xsl:if test="position() = 1">
<xsl:value-of select="punkte"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="auswertung">
<html>
<head>
<title>Kandidaten</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Kandidaten und ihre Punkte</h1>
<hr/>
<table style="width: 100%">
<xsl:apply-templates select="kandidat">
<xsl:sort select="punkte" order="descending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="kandidat">
<tr>
<td style="width: 1%">
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</td>
<!-- second columns of table is supposed to contain the -->
<!-- points ("punkte") of the respective candidate ("kandidat") -->
<td>
<!-- second column contains a paragraph whose background-color is blue -->
<div style="text-align: center;width: {round(punkte div $maxPoints * 100)}%;color: #ffff00;background-color: #0000ff;">
<xsl:value-of select="punkte"/>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

EDIT: You could also clean up your stylesheet and output a little by using CSS classes...
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<!--This is easier in XSLT 2.0:
<xsl:variable name="maxPoints" select="max(/*/kandidat/punkte)"/>
-->
<xsl:variable name="maxPoints">
<xsl:for-each select="/*/kandidat">
<xsl:sort select="punkte" order="descending"/>
<xsl:if test="position() = 1">
<xsl:value-of select="punkte"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="auswertung">
<html>
<head>
<title>Kandidaten</title>
<style type="text/css">
.name {
width: 10%;
}
.punkte {
text-align: center;

background-color: #0000ff;
}
table.kandidat {
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<hr/>
<table class="kandidat">
<xsl:apply-templates select="kandidat">
<xsl:sort select="punkte" order="descending"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="kandidat">

<td class="name">
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>

I want to output the names, domain and usage of a database where its version is equal to 20i. I have created a stylesheet that does this - when I load my xml, it detects that I have an element matching my requirements in the table, but doesn't actually show them. No idea what I'm doing wrong!

I think you want to put the condition about that version into the apply-templates and move the table creation to the another template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>

<h2>Database Servers</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Domain</th>
<th>Usage</th>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Inventory/DatabaseName[Attributes[#Version='20i']]" />
</table>
<h2>Webservers</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Domain</th>
<th>Usage</th>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Inventory/WebserverName[Attributes[#Version='20i']]" />
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="DatabaseName">

<xsl:template match="WebserverName">

Here is the kicker, though. I only need it to have 5 columns of TD's and then start over with a new TR after that.. all the way down. If it has, say, 12 items in the XML, then I need it to go ahead and have 15 TD's (I presume) so that the table is a nice square.
In the future we will have a "PictureURL" or something like that in this XML for each "categories" item just like the name and value. I could get that working later on my own, I bet, if I can get this working now.
Thank you very much for any help! The XSLT syntax has me still confused after a few days of trying this and googling around.
Here is what I have been trying to make work and could not pull it off:
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="categories[position() mod 5 = 1]">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position() - 1" />
<tr>
<td >
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<span onclick="Critia(this, '{value}')">
<xsl:value-of select="name[position() = ($pos * 5)]"/>
</span>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="//categories[position() = ($pos * 5) + 2]"/>
<span onclick="Critia(this, '{value}')">
<xsl:value-of select="name[position() = ($pos * 5) + 2]"/>
</span>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="//categories[position() = ($pos * 5) + 3]"/>
<span onclick="Critia(this, '{value}')">
<xsl:value-of select="name[position() = ($pos * 5) + 3]"/>
</span>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="//categories[position() = ($pos * 5) + 4]"/>
<span onclick="Critia(this, '{value}')">
<xsl:value-of select="name[position() = ($pos * 5) + 4]"/>
</span>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="//categories[position() = ($pos * 5) + 5]"/>
<span onclick="Critia(this, '{value}')">
<xsl:value-of select="name[position() = ($pos * 5) + 5]"/>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
This is how I tried to integrate JLRishe's answer into my existing XSLT:
<!--================-->
<!-- Categories -->
<!--================-->
<xsl:template name="WriteCategories">
<xsl:if test="categories">
<div>
<!-- set the class, if browsing it's a larger font -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$pBrowse='True'">
<xsl:attribute name="class">critGroup lg</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:attribute name="class">critGroup</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:variable name="numCols" select="5" />
<xsl:template match="/*">
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="categories[position() mod $numCols = 1]"
mode="row" />
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="categories" mode="row">
<tr>
<xsl:variable name="thisRowItems"
select=". | following-sibling::categories[position() < $numCols]" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="$thisRowItems" />
<xsl:call-template name="addCells">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="$numCols - count($thisRowItems)" />
</xsl:call-template>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="categories">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<span onclick="Critia(this, '{value}')">
<xsl:value-of select="name" />
</span>
</td>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="addCells">
<xsl:param name="count" />
<xsl:if test="$count > 0">
<td></td>
<xsl:call-template name="addCells">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="$count - 1" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<div>
<!-- if not browsing, write expandable area if there are more than 5 items -->
<xsl:if test="$pBrowse='False' and count(categories)>5">
<div id="divCritHdnMore_Category" class="moreHidden">
<xsl:for-each select="categories">
<xsl:if test="position()>5">
<div>
<span onclick="Critia(this, '{value}')">
<xsl:value-of select="name" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</span>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(' (', count, ')')" />
</div>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
</xsl:if>
</div>
<!-- more link -->
<xsl:if test="$pBrowse='False' and count(categories)>5">
<div class="moreLink">
<span id="spnCritMore_Category" onclick="CriteriaMore('Category')">More . . .</span>

</xsl:if>
</div>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
This is how you can do table row grouping. I don't think having the right number of <td>s in the last row is strictly necessary, but I've added that capability too:
Add this to your WriteCategories template in the place where you want the table to be:
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="categories[position() mod $numCols = 1]"
mode="row" />
</table>
And add this outside of any other templates:
<xsl:variable name="numCols" select="5" />
<xsl:template match="categories" mode="row">
<tr>
<xsl:variable name="thisRowItems"
select=". | following-sibling::categories
[position() < $numCols]" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="$thisRowItems" />
<xsl:call-template name="addCells">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="$numCols - count($thisRowItems)" />
</xsl:call-template>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="categories">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<span onclick="Critia(this, '{value}')">
<xsl:value-of select="name" />
</span>
</td>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="addCells">
<xsl:param name="count" />
<xsl:if test="$count > 0">
<td></td>
<xsl:call-template name="addCells">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="$count - 1" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
When run on your sample input with the last 3 categories removed to make 12 items, the result is:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Badges & Holders
1000111
<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000111')">Badges & Holders</span></td>
<td>
Clips, Tacks & Rubber Bands
1000113
<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000113')">Clips, Tacks & Rubber Bands</span></td>
<td>
Clocks
1000114
<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000114')">Clocks</span></td>
<td>
Indexing Flags & Tabs
1000115
<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000115')">Indexing Flags & Tabs</span></td>
<td>
Magnification
1000116
<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000116')">Magnification</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Pad Holders
1000117
<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000117')">Pad Holders</span></td>

<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000118')">Paper Punch Accessories</span></td>

<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000120')">Scissors, Rulers & Paper Trimmers</span></td>

<span onclick="Critia(this, '1000121')">Signs & Nameplates</span></td>

Okay, it's been a tough hour or so... I'm having difficulties generating table cells with different widths. I'm using XML/XSLT to spit out my HTML, so basically the widths are stored in XML format:
<size>
<width1>5</width1>
<width2>4</width2>
<width3>7</width3>
</size>
Using XSLT's attribute-set I should have a table row and cells with 5px, 4px, 7px widths respectively. However, the trouble with this is that attribute-set needs to be a child of <xsl:stylesheet> for it to work. I CAN'T do this: (forgive the missing px)
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:attribute-set name="style">
<xsl:attribute name="width"><xsl:value-of select="size/width1"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:attribute-set name="style">
<xsl:attribute name="width"><xsl:value-of select="size/width2"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:attribute-set name="style">
<xsl:attribute name="width"><xsl:value-of select="size/width3"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
</td>
</tr>
Is there any way to generate html tag using XML data to style them?
Instead of xsl:attribute-set you need to add an xsl:attribute inside your <td> element:
<xsl:template match="size">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:attribute name="width">
<xsl:value-of select="./width1"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:attribute name="width">
<xsl:value-of select="./width2"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:attribute name="width">
<xsl:value-of select="./width3"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
More XSLT style:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="size">
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="size/*">
<td style="width:{.}px;">
<!-- Do stuff -->
</td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Applied to your sample result will be:
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width:5px;"></td>
<td style="width:4px;"></td>
<td style="width:7px;"></td>
</tr>
</table>
