<mytag>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</mytag>

Hi.

I'm having problems getting my xslt processor to cope with things like
this:

   <xsl:if test="self::foo">
     <mytag>
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
   <xsl:if test="count(following-sibling::foo)=0">
     </mytag>
   </xsl:if>

It fails because (I presume) the above XSL isn't well formed, as
<mytag/> is split in half and closed in the wrong place.

I'm searching for a more sensible way to wrap the output of the call to
apply-templates with another tag.

Am I thinking about this all wrong, or is there a simple way to force
the processor to treat <mytag> and </mytag> as plain text?

Cheers.
