 A couple of years ago at the Extreme conference I had the honor of hanging out with Mike Kay, who told us about features slated for XSLT 2.0 and challenged us with a few "advanced" XSLT problems. One of them is effectively yours. The source: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!-- from Hart's Rules for Compositors, 39th edition, OUP --> <rules> <p>The following should appear in italic:</p> <bullet>Titles of operas, ballets, song cycles, symphonic poems, oratorios, overtures.</bullet> <bullet>Abbreviated volume indications: <i>pp</i>, <i>mf</i>, etc. (these are always lower case).</bullet> <p>The following should appear in roman, with single quotation marks:</p> <bullet>Titles of single songs</bullet> <bullet>Popular names of works, e.g. the 'Jupiter' Symphony</bullet> <bullet>Phrases denoting tempo marks (unless used as the name of a movement): 'allegro non troppo', 'più tranquillo'.</bullet> <p>The following should appear in roman without quotation marks:</p> <bullet>Musically descriptive titles: Piano Sonata Op. 111, Finale.</bullet> <bullet>Technical terms and names of instruments: andante, cor anglais, forte, organum, shēng, vihuela.</bullet> </rules> The problem: convert to HTML, grouping adjacent <bullet> nodes as <li> elements inside <ul> wrappers. (See it's the same, isn't it.) There are actually at least two solutions that are fairly straightforward. One is a grouping solution (key the bullets to the first preceding sibling bullet whose immediate preceding element isn't a bullet; let those bullets pick up the others). The other is a forward-walking solution, like what you're trying. This is my version of that solution to Mike's problem: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/> <xsl:template match="rules">
<div>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</div>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="p"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="bullet">
<xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::bullet])">
<ul>
<li><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="in-list"
select="following-sibling::*[1][self::bullet]" />
</ul>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="bullet" mode="in-list">
<li><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="in-list"
select="following-sibling::*[1][self::bullet]"/>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> I think you'll see it's basically what you're trying to do, only cleaned up and using a mode instead of named templates. The output (just to show it runs): <div>
<p>The following should appear in italic:</p>
<ul>
<li>Titles of operas, ballets, song cycles, symphonic poems,
oratorios, overtures.
</li>
<li>Abbreviated volume indications: pp, mf, etc.
(these are always lower case).
</li>
</ul>
<p>The following should appear in roman, with single quotation marks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Titles of single songs</li>
<li>Popular names of works, e.g. the 'Jupiter' Symphony</li>
<li>Phrases denoting tempo marks (unless used as the name of
a movement): 'allegro non troppo', 'più tranquillo'.
</li>
</ul>
<p>The following should appear in roman without quotation marks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Musically descriptive titles: Piano Sonata Op. 111, Finale.</li>
<li>Technical terms and names of instruments: andante, cor anglais,
forte, organum, shēng, vihuela.
</li>
</ul>
