Re: small grouping task

Thanks Ken for the help.
Now I know what specs I need to add. Your second xsl example comes close, you almost read my mind. I will try to add the rest of the requirements succinctly.
I am using Saxon and a xsl 2.0 solution is great.

> 2), the other making the assumption that each list item is all of the content (except <br/>) that follows each <input/>
Correct. But the first <br/> Not more.

Another valid assumption is, After the <br/>

Other things to make work are.
-a- There are random text and tags between the '<p class="problem">'
and the first <input>...<br/> pair.

-b- There are text and tags after that last <input>... <br/> pair and the closing </p>
Those need to be preserved.

In your second xsl, the "-a-" items were removed from the output. And the "-b-" items were wrapped with the last </li> and </ul>. The last </li></ul> needs to end sooner.

Note my new source a few more tags

...
desired output. Only the <input>.....<br/> pairs are altered

   <input> test1 <br/> test2
   <input> test3 <br/>

 <p class="problem">
   <input> test1 <br/> test2 <br/> <br/>
   <input> test3 <br/> <br/>
   <input> test4
 </p>
