It appears that the beginning and end of a chapter is not signified by an
element, that is to say, there is no element that contains a chapter. Is that
correct?
If so, how can you determine where a chapter begins and ends? If you can answer
that question, you have moved a long way toward solving the problem.
It appears that you can identify the beginning of a chapter with an XPath
expression along these lines:
"office:document-content/office:body/text:h[(_at_)text:level="1"]. It also
seems that all sibling nodes of a particular <text:h> element up to but not
including the next <text:h> sibling node are part of the chapter, is that
correct?

Subject: [xsl] split OpenOffice 1.1 documents (flat xml)
Hello everybody,
my question is about splitting large OpenOffice 1.1 documents (the
content.xml that you will see once you unzipped the *.swx) into single
chapters for translation purposes.
It's flat xml, and because of this I already looked in the XSL-FAQ under
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/flatfile.htm "Convert a flat XML
document", but I was not able to apply the suggested solution to my problem.
Each of the splitted files has to be a valid OpenOffice document and must
contain exactly one chapter (begins with <text:h ...>bla</text:h> and ends
with the next <text:h ...>bla</text:h>).

The same document structure, but splitted file 1 has as it's content
<text:h text:style-name="Heading 1" text:level="1">Chapter

<text:p text:style-name="Standard">This is my content.</text:p>
whereas splitted file 2 has as it's content
<text:h text:style-name="Heading 1" text:level="1">Chapter
2</text:h>
<text:p text:style-name="Standard">This is my other
content.</text:p>
