Hello Nicolas,
<root> This is the <w>first</w> <i>sentence</i>. This is the <w>second</w> <i>sentence</i>. This is the <w>third</w> <i>sentence</i>. </root> you have really bad structured XML. Where should the processor know from, where a sentence ends and a new one starts? Can you always use '.' as marker? I tried with a key-based solution (all nodes will be collected by the id of the text-node with the next '.'): <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:key name="sentences" match="node()" use="generate-id(following-sibling::text()[contains(., '.')][1])"/> <xsl:template match="root"> <html> <ol> <xsl:apply-templates select="text()[contains(., '.')]" mode="end-of-sentence"/> </ol> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="text()" mode="end-of-sentence"> <li> <xsl:apply-templates select="key('sentences', generate-id(.))" mode="rest-of-sentence"/> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., '.')"/> <xsl:text>.</xsl:text> </li> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="node()" mode="rest-of-sentence">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="text()[contains(., '.')]" mode="rest-of-sentence">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(., '.')"/>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> The output with Xalan: <html> <ol> <li> This is the <w>first</w> <i>sentence</i> without a comma.</li> <li> This is the <w>second</w> <i>sentence</i>.</li> <li> This is the <w>third</w> <i>sentence</i>.</li> </ol> </html> I don't know whether the solution is perfect. It's a bit difficult to see any errors. But I would start with changing the terrible XML. Regards, Joerg would be formatted so that the list would look like: XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
