I have a question about the problem below which has already been identified as a 'positional grouping problem'. (I think) I understand the Muenchian method-based solutions suggested (at least in theory). What I don't understand is what is wrong about using the following simple solution that I pieced together from different postings: <xsl:template match="li"> <xsl:if test="(name(preceding-sibling::*[1])!='li' )"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><ul></xsl:text> </xsl:if> <li><xsl:copy-of select="@*"/><xsl:apply-templates/></li> <xsl:if test="(name(following-sibling::*[1])!='li' )"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></ul></xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> Seems like it fits much better into my context of using 'apply-templates' as much as possible (no need to process all li's at once and ignore them later) and - except for that hack of smuggling half the ul-element into my output - it also seems quite reasonable xsl, not? Your input much appreciated, -- Ferdinand Soethe --- The problem --- I have an XML-document with paragraphs and list items that have no wrapper element around each list. Something like this: <par>my first para</par> <par>second para</par> <li>first list item of first list</li> <li>second list item of first list</li> <li>third list item of first list</li> <par>third para</par> <li>first list item of second list</li> <par>fourth para</par> <li>first list item of third list</li> <li>second list item of third list</li> In my transformation I would like to add these implicit wrapper element around each of the list to get something like <p>my first para</p> <p>second para</p> <ul> <li>first list item of first list</li> <li>second list item of first list</li> <li>third list item of first list</li> </ul> <p>third para</p> <ul> <li>first list item of second list</li> </ul> <p>fourth para</p> <ul> <li>first list item of third list</li> <li>second list item of third list</li> </ul>
