Re: Conditional Selection of Nodes

This sort of does it...It breaks down if child element names are repeated
out of sequence.

<xsl:template match="/">

 <foo>
 <xsl:variable name="nodeList" select="foo/child::*" />

 <xsl:for-each select="$nodeList">
  <xsl:variable name="curPos" select="position()" />
  <xsl:variable name="curName" select="name()" />
  <xsl:variable name="nextName" select="name(following-sibling::*)" />

  <xsl:if test="$curName!=$nextName">
   <xsl:if test="$curName!='p'">
    <p>
    <xsl:for-each select="$nodeList[name()=$curName and
$curPos>=position()]">
     <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
     </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </p>
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if test="$curName='p'">
    <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:if>
  </xsl:if>

 </xsl:for-each>
 </foo>

</xsl:template>
