 I'm afraid I don't have time to provide a worked-out solution, largely because without boiling down the problem to its essentials, I can't construe the exact nesting logic you require. I can suggest, however, that you don't need recursion. Rather, you can use keys to associate the nodes you need nested with those they need to be nested with. Commonly with this type of problem, this association is done either by nodes' proximity (e.g. all <p> elements with their closest preceding <head> element, to nest them into sections), or by values such as attribute values (which I think you could use). Check out the FAQ page at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/flatfile.html, where this technique is demonstrated in several different scenarios. If it isn't readily apparent to you how you can construct keys to induce the required nested structures, please post again, perhaps with a bit of explanation of what the exact grouping (nesting) requirements are for your data, to help us with the analysis. (This is actually a kind of grouping problem, after all.)
