Daniel O.,
For XSLT 1.0 I have the following solutions to suggest:
There is a simple hack you could try.
<xsl:template match="p[child::blockquote]">
<xsl:element name="p">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | * | text()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="blockquote[parent::p]">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></p></xsl:text>
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | * | text()"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><p></xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
If this was unacceptable, I would use the saxon:node-set() function.
1. collect the entire document into a node-set variable.
2. create an attribute for each <p> giving the position number from
the root.
3. create a template for the node-set ($my_doc)//p/child::blockquote.
4. create a node-set of each p/child:blockquote numbering the nodes.
5. send the $x (beginning node) and $y (end node) to a call-template.
6. process these nodes before and after the blockquote inside a new
<p>.
7. process the blockquote normally.
This is a lot of work, but it is legal.

Transforming XML Blockquotes - Mixed Content 14744 by: Edward

14745 by: James Fuller 14746 by: Edward Bryant
I am having a lot of trouble transforming XML blockquotes that
are
structurally and grammatically correct (i.e, as child elements to
a
parent paragraph tag) into XHTML that will be displayed correctly
by
a browser. Because of two separate IE6 bugs that prevent a
blockquote
from being structured as the child of a paragraph, I pretty much
need
the XSL output to be
<p>Yadda yadda yadda:</p> <blockquote><p>blah blah
blah</p></blockquote> <p class="cont">yackity yack</p>
However, the XML is structured like this:
<p>Yadda yadda yadda: <blockquote>blah blah blah</blockquote>
yackity
yack</p>
So, my first thought was to make a conditional statement that
would
do this but I am having a lot of trouble constructing it. I can
not
locate any information on a conditional statement that would test
whether one element (p) with mixed conternt contained another
element
(blockquote). I also am having trouble with a way to split up the
p
tag's text into the pre-blockquote and post-blockquote strings.
Even
with the above problems, I haven't even touched on the problems
that
a paragraph with multiple blockquotes would cause.
As Jim noted, I was asking the same question earlier in the day
(how
weird is that). I've still not managed to get a XSLT 1.0 solution
(which
I need), but in XSLT 2.0 it is really easy. There is even an
example in
the recommendation that mutatis mutandis works out of the box:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#d5e20377> "Grouping Alternating
Sequences
of Elements".
