Re: Trying to select sibling nodes between two nodes

I have some unfortunate xml that I am trying to parse:

<label>first text<br/>second<emphasis>bold</emphasis> text<br/>third text</label>

I need to transform this into:

<label>
 <flowPara>first text</flowPara>
 <flowPara>second<emphasis>bold</emphasis> text</flowPara>
 <flowPara>third text</flowPara>
</label>

Basically I need to select nodes between nodes in a "flat" data progression. I can think of some ugly approaches that would accomplish this but it seems I should be able to use "<<" and ">>" to select nodes between occurrences of <br/>. However, no matter how I attempt to use these operators the result is a syntax error with "<" being illegal.

Can anyone point me to an example of how I can unflatten this xml?

<xsl:template match="label">
  <label>
    <xsl:for-each-group select="node()" group-starting-with="br">
      <flowPara>
        <xsl:copy-of select="current-group()[not(self::br)]"/>
      </flowPara>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
  </label>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
T:\ftemp>
