I have xml with a section structured like this:

<body>content here</body>
<body>content here</body>
<body>content here</body>

I'd like to change all of the body elements to <p> tags and group all
of those original body elements (now <p> tags) into a parent element.

I've been using

  <xsl:template match="body">
       <field name="body">
           <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </field>

because the parent element needs to be <field name="body"> but each
original body element needs to be converted to <p> tags.

Is this what you are asking for?

  <xsl:template match="body">
       <field name="body">
          <p>
              <xsl:apply-templates/>
          </p>
       </field>

Perhaps you were unaware that a template creates an arbitrary amount of result tree nodes, it doesn't exist only to do a one-to-one mapping.

I hope this helps.
