Here is my problem: I have an html file that has a structure like this:
<html>
<body>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Blah-blah</p>
Some-more <p>-s and text
<h2>Parameters</h2>
<p>Some more text<p>
</body>
</html>

Now i want to make a xml file that has this structure:
<m:man>
<m:description>
<p>Blah-blah</p>
Some-more <p>-s and text
</m:description>
<some other> things
 So my question is how to get the text between the first
<h2>description</h2> and the second <h2>parameters</h2> tag and place
it in the <m:description></m:description> tag

Given this XML (XHTML) file:

<html>
<body>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Blah-blah</p>
Some-more <p/>-s and text
<h2>Parameters</h2>
<p>Some more text</p>
</body>
</html>

The following stylesheet:

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

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/">
 <m:man>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="//h2[1]" />
 </m:man>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="h2">
 <m:description>
   <xsl:call-template name="ExtractText">
     <xsl:with-param name="node-set" select="following-sibling::node()" />
   </xsl:call-template>
 </m:description>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="ExtractText">
 <xsl:param name="node-set" />

 <xsl:if test="not($node-set[1]/self::h2)">
   <xsl:copy-of select="$node-set[1]" />
   <xsl:call-template name="ExtractText">
     <xsl:with-param name="node-set" select="$node-set[position() &gt; 1]" />
   </xsl:call-template>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Produces output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<m:man xmlns:m="http://dummy">
  <m:description>
     <p>Blah-blah</p>
     Some-more <p/>-s and text
  </m:description>
</m:man>

Hope this helps.
