Just change your

<xsl:if test="self::matching_group">

into an xsl:choose/xsl:when, and add

<xsl:otherwise><xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/></xsl:otherwise>

I have this xml input:

<title>
<ChapNum>10</ChapNum>
<ChapName>Character Development</ChapName>
<Story>
<ma>_____ 1. denouement</ma>
<ma>_____ 2. conflict</ma>
<ma>_____ 3. fourth wall</ma>
<ma>_____ 4. turning point</ma>
<ma>_____ 5. nonrealistic</ma>
<ma>_____ 6. presentational</ma>
<ma>_____ 7. representational</ma>
<ma>_____ 8. resolution</ma>
<ma>_____ 9. rising action</ma>
<ma>_____ 10. subtext</ma>
<matching_group>a. falling action</matching_group>
<matching_group>b. without reference to the audience</
matching_group>
<matching_group>c. struggle</matching_group>
<matching_group>d. highest emotional intensity</ matching_group>
<matching_group>e. exaggerated</matching_group>
<matching_group>f. direct address</matching_group>
<matching_group>g. completion</matching_group>
<matching_group>h. complications</matching_group>
<matching_group>i. implied information</matching_group>
<matching_group>j. convention of realistic theatre</
matching_group>
<sa>11. What are the elements of traditional play

</Story>
</title>

I need to process all the elements inside the story element.
One thing I need to do is group the <matching_group>
elements. Here is one of the templates I have tried to do this:

<xsl:template match='Story[child::matching_group]'>
<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-adjacent="name()">
<xsl:if test="self::matching_group">
   <matching-group>
   <choices columns='1'>
   <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
   </xsl:for-each>
   </choices>
</matching-group>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>

This works to group the <matching_group> elements. However,
it cuts the <ma>, <sa>, and <es> elements from the result:

    <title>
       <ChapNum>10</ChapNum>
       <ChapName>Character Development</ChapName>
       <matching-group>
          <choices columns="1">
             <choice-a>falling action</choice-a>
             <choice-b>without reference to the audience</choice-b>
             <choice-c>struggle</choice-c>
             <choice-d>highest emotional intensity</choice-d>
             <choice-e>exaggerated</choice-e>
             <choice-f>direct address</choice-f>
             <choice-g>completion</choice-g>
             <choice-h>complications</choice-h>
             <choice-i>implied information</choice-i>
             <choice-j>convention of realistic theatre</choice-j>
          </choices>
       </matching-group>
    </title>

Any hints would be appreciated.
