xml line spacing
I can get the paragraph numbers to show up by adding it to the paragraph template

<xsl:template match="paragraph">
<font class="para-num"><xsl:value-of select="@num"/></font><xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>


But to be able to apply the correct formatting to the various new p tags created by the transformation, I need to add at least two different classes. (1) to the paragraph within the blockquote (to remove the indent that is applied to other paragraphs and to account for the decreased line-height that blockquotes get) and (2) to the new false paragraphs (to remove the indent that would be applied following the blockquote).

So, even though the XSL code works, it introduces some of the same problems that IE6 caused to the original XHTML blockquote-as-child-object problem.

ok apply the following to your above xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >

<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

        <!-- Transform  -->
        <xsl:variable name="result">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph"/>
        </xsl:variable>

        <!-- Display Results -->
        <xsl:copy-of select="$result"/>

</xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="text()">
        <xsl:if test="normalize-space()">
            <p><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/></p>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="paragraph">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="italic">
        <i>
            <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </i>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="blockquote">
            <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

some assumptions;

xsl:output method could = xhtml
i matched your italic element and replaced with <i>...I used
xsl:value-of to select on the text..u may want to use xsl:copy-of to
select elements
