The following is an outline of a general way to process groups of nodes delimited by a specific element. This transformation: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/*/p/pb"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="p/pb"> <xsl:element name="group{position()}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="preceding-sibling::node()[not(self::pb)] [generate-id(following-sibling::pb) = generate-id(current()) ]"/> </xsl:element> <xsl:if test="position() = last()"> <xsl:element name="group{position() + 1}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> when applied on this source.xml: <html> <p>some text1 some text1 <pb/>more text2 more text2 <pb/>more text3 more text3 </p> </html> produces: <group1>some text1 some text1 </group1> <group2>more text2 more text2 </group2> <group3>more text3 more text3 </group3> As we see, all nodes between two consecutive markers will be processed as a group. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
