Hi all, First of all, I want to thank the people here for their help in getting me on my feet, with special thanks to Gerrit. I've been learning to solve some of my own problems (such as how to get rid of xmlns="") but there's one -- for a completely different project -- that's stumping me on a conceptual level. I am working with an HTML input file, and I'd like to group things better by sections (ultimately, with the intent of using xml:result-document to create a new file for each section). What I have is not uncommon: <h1 class="section">Section Name</h1> <h1 class="headline">Headline name</h1> [... assorted HTML marked up text ...] <h1 class="headline">Headline 2</h1> [... assorted HTML marked up text ...] <h1 class="headline">Headline 3</h1> [... assorted HTML marked up text ...] <h1 class="section">Section 2</h1> <h1 class="headline">Headline 4</h1> [... assorted HTML marked up text ...] <h1 class="headline">Headline 5</h1> [... assorted HTML marked up text ...] <h1 class="headline">Headline 6</h1> [... assorted HTML marked up text ...] and so on. What I'd like to end up with is, if possible <section id="Section Name"> B <headline id="Headline "> B B B B [...marked up text...] B </headline id="Headline 2"> B <headline> B B B B [...marked up text...] B B </headline> B <headline id="Headline 3"> B B B B [...marked up text...] B B </headline> </section> Maybe this is "XSL 101"and it must be common in HTML-to-XML transformations. I would imagine that there must be some techniques to form a proper tree such that a conventional HTML page is turned to <body> <h1> B B <h2> B B B B B <h3> B B B B B B B B <p>Marked up text</p> B B B B B </h3> B B </h2> </h1> but I'm not having much luck finding the techniques to do this. Certainly the "tidy" implementations are no help. :-) Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks! - Evan
