I'm working in an application, when a user types in keywords will 
display 10 words that appears before the keyword and 10 words that
appears after the keyword from a document. In a document there might 
be one or more hit words and the hit word is presented
in <Hit> tag. The words that comes before and after the <Hit> word 
is presented in <IMPORTANT>. Some times all the words
that comes before and after the keyword is presented in one <IMPORTANT> 
and some times it comes in several different <IMPORTANT> 
I want to combine the values of <IMPORTANT> that appears before and 
after <Hit> so that my output looks like

..test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6 test7 test8 test9 test10 Auto 
test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6 test7 test8 test9 test10 ...
..test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6 test7 test8 test9 test10 Auto 
test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6 test7 test8 test9 test10 ...


Currently I've following XSL that produces the output but it is not 
combining the values of <IMPORTANT>, instead it
outputs the values in a separate line.

<xsl:template match="IMPORTANT">
  <xsl:if test="$displaySnippets='true'">
   <xsl:if test="position() &lt; $numsnippets">
   <br/>...<xsl:apply-templates/>...
   </xsl:if>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Hit | important">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$displaySnippets='true'">
      <xsl:if test="position() &lt; $numsnippets">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>



I don't have any control on the XML format, so my choice is to modify 
the XSL so that I'll get the desired output.

Thanks for the help.
