Hi,
I posted this stylesheet yesterday on xml-dev list..
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/root">
<root>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="self::par">
<p><xsl:value-of select="." /></p>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:if test="(name(preceding-sibling::*[1])
= 'par') or (position() = 1)">
<ul>
<xsl:call-template name="makegroup">
<xsl:with-param name="nodeset"
select="self::* | following-sibling::*" />
</xsl:call-template>
</ul>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="makegroup">
<xsl:param name="nodeset" />
<xsl:if test="name($nodeset[1]) = 'li'">
<xsl:copy-of select="$nodeset[1]" />
<xsl:call-template name="makegroup">
<xsl:with-param name="nodeset"
select="$nodeset[position() > 1]" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
For e.g. when it is applied to XML
<root>
<par>my first para</par>
<par>second para</par>
<li>first list item of first list</li>
<li>second list item of first list</li>
<li>third list item of first list</li>
<par>third para</par>
<li>first list item of second list</li>
<par>fourth para</par>
<li>first list item of third list</li>
<li>second list item of third list</li>
</root>
The output produced is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<p>my first para</p>
<p>second para</p>
<ul>
<li>first list item of first list</li>
<li>second list item of first list</li>
<li>third list item of first list</li>
</ul>
<p>third para</p>
<ul>
<li>first list item of second list</li>
</ul>
<p>fourth para</p>
<ul>
<li>first list item of third list</li>
<li>second list item of third list</li>
</ul>
</root>

I have a question about the problem below which has already been
identified as a 'positional grouping problem'. (I think) I understand
the Muenchian method-based solutions suggested (at least in theory).
What I don't understand is what is wrong about using the following simple
solution that I pieced together from different postings:
<xsl:template match="li">
<xsl:if test="(name(preceding-sibling::*[1])!='li' )">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><ul></xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<li><xsl:copy-of select="@*"/><xsl:apply-templates/></li>
<xsl:if test="(name(following-sibling::*[1])!='li' )">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></ul></xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Seems like it fits much better into my context of using
'apply-templates' as much as possible (no need to process all li's at
once and ignore them later) and - except for that hack of
smuggling half the ul-element into my output - it also seems quite
reasonable xsl, not?
Your input much appreciated,

--- The problem ---
I have an XML-document with paragraphs and list items that have no
wrapper element around each list.
Something like this:
<par>my first para</par>
<par>second para</par>
<li>first list item of first list</li>
<li>second list item of first list</li>
<li>third list item of first list</li>
<par>third para</par>
<li>first list item of second list</li>
<par>fourth para</par>
<li>first list item of third list</li>
<li>second list item of third list</li>
In my transformation I would like to add these implicit wrapper
element around each of the list to get something like
<p>my first para</p>
<p>second para</p>
<ul>
<li>first list item of first list</li>
<li>second list item of first list</li>
<li>third list item of first list</li>
</ul>
<p>third para</p>
<ul>
<li>first list item of second list</li>
</ul>
<p>fourth para</p>
<ul>
<li>first list item of third list</li>
<li>second list item of third list</li>
</ul>
