Thanks for the solution and comment. I will try it and take your remarks into my maintenance considerations. Meanwhile I found that I have input cases where the 2 rules are ambiguous. For example if the input is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <body> <p dir="rtl"> <span class="chapter">line1</span> </p> <p dir="rtl"><span class="regular">line10</span> <span class="regular">line11</span> </p> <p dir="rtl"><span class="regular">line12</span> </p> <p dir="rtl"><span class="regular">line13.</span> </p> </body> </html> the error I get is: Recoverable error XTRE0540: Ambiguous rule match for /html/body[1]/p[3] Matches both "p[preceding-sibling::p[1][span[@class ne 'chapter'] and not(matches(span[@class ne 'chapter'][last()], '[.?"!]$'))]]" on line 22 of file:/E:/help2-orig.xsl and "p[span[@class ne 'chapter'] and not(matches(span[@class ne 'chapter'][last( )], '[.?"!]$'))]" on line 16 of file:/E:/help2-orig.xsl It is beacuse the line: <p dir="rtl"><span class="regular">line12</span></p> matches both rules. How can I make a rule that will take all the following-sibling p's internal nodes until it finds one that it's last span ends with paragraph terminator? And of course change the 2nd rule accordingly to remove those merged to the upper sibling. Thanks.
