Ole,
While what Simon says is generally true, it's not *completely* true that
XSLT can't be used to interpolate a hierarchy. See the XSL FAQ at
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/flatfile.html for an approach treating
your step 2 as a grouping problem, and leveraging your hierarchy that way
(the trick is to use a key to associate each node with its most recently
preceding break, then create a new paragraph every time you process a break
with any associated nodes, pulling them into it).
It's not an obvious technique, but it's pretty easy once you grasp the
principle. Ask again if you need more specific help.
Cheers,
Wendell

Probably best to start over with the HTML and use regular expressions,
e.g., with Perl. This is not an XSL subject, the html you are starting
with is not tree-structure so XSL is no help.

I can do step 1, but step 2 gives me trouble. To
formalise: how do I convert a structure structure like
<break/>+ { other+ <break/>+ }*
into
{ <p> other+ </p> }*
I fear the solution is really simple. Any ideas?
