 Copy Child Elements
Hello,

Here is my input XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<reference>
<refbody>
<section>
<title>Author Job Title</title>
<p id="Field_ShowAuthorJobTitle">Author Job Title</p>
<p id="Desc_ShowAuthorJobTitle">Setting that indicates...</p>
<p id="AppTo_ShowAuthorJobTitle">Review Definitions, Section Item</p>
<p id="Hdr_ShowAuthorJobTitle">Author Settings</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>Type (of definition)</title>
<p id="Field_Typeofdefinition">Type (of definition)</p>
<p id="Desc_Typeofdefinition">Type of the performance...
<ul>
<li>
<p><b>Focal</b>- A focal review is the most typical type...</p>
</li>
</ul></p>
<p id="AppTo_Typeofdefinition">Review Definitions, Section Item, Performance Review</p>
<p id="Hdr_Typeofdefinition">Properties</p>
</section>
</refbody>
</reference>


Here is my desired output, except for the problem described below the output.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<definitions>
<dt>Author Job Title</dt>
<dl>Setting that indicates...</dl>
<dt>Type (of definition)</dt>
<dl>Type of the performance... Focal- A focal review is the most typical type...</dl>
</definitions>


For the <dt> and <dl> elements, I want to include any contents from the original content; for example the <ul> element in the second <section> element, etc.

Here is my stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<definitions>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</definitions>
</xsl:template>


 <xsl:template match="reference">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="//section">
     <xsl:sort select="title" />
   </xsl:apply-templates>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="section">
   <xsl:for-each select="p[position()&lt;=2]">
     <xsl:if test="position()=1">
       <dt>
         <xsl:apply-templates />
       </dt>
     </xsl:if>
     <xsl:if test="position()=2">
       <dl>
         <xsl:apply-templates />
       </dl>
     </xsl:if>
   </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Any help is appreciated.
