RE: Trying to select sibling nodes between two nodes

It sounds as if the problems with your current code might be fairly trivial,
so show us the code and let's see if you're already 99% of the way there,
rather than starting again from scratch.

Having said that, I would normally tackle this using <xsl:for-each-group
group-starting-with="br"> rather than using the << and >> operators, which
are at a rather more primitive level.
