Re: defining sections

sorry for the lack of clarity I have put together the
following but to no avail... I am a beginner to this
so probably making some really stupid obvious
mistakes.

<xsl:template match="root">
	<root>
		<artefact doc_ref="{$DOC_REF}" type_id="1">
			<xsl:apply-templates select="data"/>
		</artefact>
	</root>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="data">
	<before>
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
	</before>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="data[.='Functional
Requirements']"/>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="data[.='Functional
Requirements']/following-sibling::data[following-sibling::data[.='Design
Derived Requirements']]"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="data">
	<after>
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
	</after>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="data[.='Design Derived
Requirements']"/>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="data[.='Design Derived
Requirements']/following-sibling::data"/>
</xsl:template>

the sort of output I want is

the text in the first sections in <before> tags and
the text in the second section in <after> tags....
does this help explain myself better?

Your description wasn't so clear but perhaps

<sec>
<xsl:apply-template select="data[.='Functional
Requirements']"/>
<xsl:apply-template select="data[.='Functional

Requirements']/following-sibling::data[following-sibling::data[.='Design

Derived Requirements']]"/>
</sec>
<sec>
<xsl:apply-template select="data[.='Design Derived
Requirements']"/>
<xsl:apply-template select="data[.='Design Derived
Requirements']/following-sibling::data"/>
</sec>

as always this could be made more efficient using
keys (or xslt 2
draft's xsl:for-each-group, which makes this kind of
thing much easier)
