XSL exasperates me! I have the following XML structure:

<Root>
    <Textabschnitt>
        <h1>Geistiger Volksbesitz der Kameruner im Blickfeld des
Missionars</h1>
        <h2>EinfC<hrung </h2>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <h2>I.Teil: Der &#65279;Mensch B- ein &#65279;Leib </h2>
        <h3>Allgemeines </h3>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
    </Textabschnitt>
</Root>

This should be transformed into the following XML structure:

<set>
    <book>
        <bookinfo/>
        <title/>
        <chapter>
            <title/>
            <para/>
            <sect1>
                <title/>
                <para/>
            </sect1>
            <sect2>
                <title/>
                <para/>
            </sect2>
            <sect3>
                <title/>
                <para/>
            </sect3>
        </chapter>
    </book>
</set>

I want to insert an element <chapter> before the element <h2> but only
for the first element <h2>. The second element <h2> should be
transformed to <title>. And I need to output every <p> element
according to its proir element until the next <h2>, <h3>, ... occures.

Can you take the time to populate the target structure above with the text from your example? I'm lost as to where the content of the first <h2> goes.

And, are you restricted to XSLT 1 or can you use XSLT 2 for the solution?

Unfortunately I cannot see the problem. Any hint from the experts? I
hope this is enough code.

The code is less important than understanding the requirement. A quick look at the code is that you have gone off on a tangent and need to address the problem differently ... but that is just a guess based on not understanding what goes where. Also, your code references <h3> and <h4> but your example test data doesn't show what is happening when there are multiple occurrences of these elements in the input.
