Re: Transforming a non-hierarchical XML into a hierar

thx very much both of U, you have solved my problem, now i'm trying to
apply this to another part of the document where the nodes are all the
same with an attribute giving their class, I think I can do it but if
I can't I will have to disturb you again with my questions, thx in
advance

If the sections aren't recursive (different element name used at each level)
then you can do something like

<xsl:for-each-group select="*"
                    group-starting-with="section">
  <section>
    <h1>...</h1>
    <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()[position() ne 1]"
                        group-starting-with="sub-section">
       <h2>...</h2>
          <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()[position() ne 1]"
                              group-starting-with="sub-sub-section">
           <h3>...</h3>
