ERH,

The problem gets more complicated (much more) if your breaks are not all at the same level.
Yes, I can see that. Fortunately, mine are at the same level. I wonder if multi-level breaking could be handled just by using the following axis instead of following-sibling?

Take a look at the thread on "extracting a verse" from last December.

This is an example of a classic "up-translation" (because you're taking information that is only implicit in the markup structures, and making it explicit). XSLT excels at down-translations. New constructs to support grouping, more versatile string-processing, capabilities to match more freely (matching on ranges or substrings remains an intriguing concept), all will help with going uphill. But it still may be a bit unnatural for the processing model. The getting-your-parsing-for-free aspect of XSLT is less useful when the information isn't visible to an XML parse.

Cheers,
Wendell
