 I am working with Saxon-B9.1 on the command line (XSLT 1.0 or 2.0 are OK). Thank you for supplying complete examples to make the job of helping easier. For every span element that the class<>'chapter' verify that in every p the last span element text ends with one character of .?"! (paragraph ending char). If it does, copy as is to the output. Otherwise: Move the span elements from the next p to the current one and remove the next p completely.
With the advent of XSLT 2.0 what comes to mind immediately for me for such cases is grouping. And I think it fits well here, though I am a bit concerned your requirement may be under-specified. Certainly I could rewrite your requirement by considering where paragraphs need to be considered part of the same group when the span movement you need is being triggered. The code below groups all of the elements of interest such that the group always ends in a paragraph with the desired punctuation. Then I simply copy the first as is and the spans and paragraph white-space of the others. I didn't know what to do with the NBSP characters of the others and you only said spans, so I only copied the white-space. Given this is paragraph content between the spans, perhaps all text nodes should be preserved and not just indentation. If so, just take the predicate off of the text() address. I hope this shows how to look at your problem as a grouping problem. . . . . . . . . . . Ken
