Re: Splitting content from sub-elements

I'm having trouble with breaking down a piece of XML into a simpler

The problem concentrates itself specifically around splitting the
content within a <Text> element from the <FootNote>, which is also
part of the same element <Text >, and still keeping the order within
the <Paragraph> intact.

Sounds to me like you are trying to use pull (xsl:for-each) rather than push (xsl:apply-templates).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I hope the example below helps. Note that your desired output is the same order as the input, so it is a simple matter of substitution.
