I worked through this example and it worked as desired.
However, I am having
trouble understanding what is happening in these matches:
<xsl:template match="li[not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::li])]"/>
Matches an li element whose first preceding sibling is not an li element.
Start from the end: self::li selects the context node if it is an li
element, or nothing if it is not.
Within [] this node-set is converted to a boolean, so the predicate
[self::li] is true if the context node is an li element.
preceding-sibling::*[1] selects the first preceding element if there is one.
So preceding-sibling::*[1][self::li] selects the first preceding element if
there is one and it is an li element.
So not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::li]) returns true if (a) the context
item has no preceding element, or (b) the first preceding sibling element is
not an li element.

<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][self::li]"
mode="in-list"/>
Thanks for any explanation that you can give.
