What you actually want to do here is to include in a type="normal" record the children of a subsequent type="continuation" record, so something like this would be required: <!-- Limit match to normal records only --> <xsl:template match="record[@type='normal']"> <record n="{@n}"> <!-- Handle the contents of this record --> <xsl:apply-templates/> <!-- If the first following sibling is a record of type continuation, handle its children --> <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::record[1][@type='continuation']/*"/> </record> </xsl:template> This assumes that you only ever have one continuation: if there are potentially more then the XPath will be more complicated.
