For example,

  <xsl:output method="text"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="main/sub"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="sub">
    <xsl:text />Title: <xsl:value-of select="entry/item2"/>
    <xsl:text>&#xA;------&#xA;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:for-each select="entry/*[not(self::item2)][position() mod 2 = 1]">
      <xsl:for-each select=". | following-sibling::*[not(self::item2)]">
        <xsl:text/>Item<xsl:value-of select="substring(., string-length(.))"/>: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>
      </xsl:for-each>
      <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
