Re: nested XML using xslt

It would be helpful if you shared your input XML, along with the
stylesheet and the output example, but I think I see what you are
going for..  Here is a fragment demonstrating the pattern I think you
need.

<xsl:template match="list1">
  <list1>
    <text>
       <xsl:value-of select="text"/>
    </text>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="list2/text"/>

  </list1>
</xsl:template>
