Given this XML (XHTML) file:

<html>
<body>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Blah-blah</p>
Some-more <p/>-s and text
<h2>Parameters</h2>
<p>Some more text</p>
</body>
</html>

The following stylesheet:

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

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/">
  <m:man>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="//h2[1]" />
  </m:man>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="h2">
  <m:description>
    <xsl:call-template name="ExtractText">
      <xsl:with-param name="node-set" select="following-sibling::node()" />
    </xsl:call-template>
  </m:description>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="ExtractText">
  <xsl:param name="node-set" />

  <xsl:if test="not($node-set[1]/self::h2)">
    <xsl:copy-of select="$node-set[1]" />
    <xsl:call-template name="ExtractText">
      <xsl:with-param name="node-set" select="$node-set[position() &gt; 1]" />
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Produces output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<m:man xmlns:m="http://dummy">
   <m:description>
      <p>Blah-blah</p>
      Some-more <p/>-s and text
   </m:description>
</m:man>

Hope this helps.
