Re: HTML text extraction

Hope this could help -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
	
<xsl:template match="/root">
  <root>
    <xsl:for-each select="p[(. = 'Heading 1') or (. =
'Heading 2')]">
     <Subject>
       <xsl:value-of select="." />
       <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>
       <xsl:variable name="p-id"
select="generate-id()"/>
       <content>
	 <xsl:for-each
select="following-sibling::p[generate-id(preceding-sibling::p[starts-with(.
, 'Heading')][1]) = $p-id][not(starts-with(.,
'Heading'))]">				 	   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
	   <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>
	 </xsl:for-each>
       </content>
     </Subject>
   </xsl:for-each>
  </root>
</xsl:template>
	
</xsl:stylesheet>
