I found an excellent example XSLT that allows you to create a paginated list of child nodes over on Tim Geyssens “nibble” blog, and I’ve modified it ever so slightly to stop the numerical index rendering if the pagecount is less than 2- so thought I would re-post it!

    <xsl:variable name="recordsPerPage" select="/macro/recordsPerPage"/>

      <xsl:choose>
        <!-- first page -->
        <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('page') <= 0 or string(umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('page')) = '' or string(umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('page')) = 'NaN'">0</xsl:when>
