<b>this</b><b> </b><b>is</b><b> </b><b>bold<text</b>
which should be transformed this:
<b>this is bold text</b>
Here's a stylesheet that will handle this simple scenario:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*[name(preceding-sibling::node()[1])=name()]"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:call-template name="mergeSiblings"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="mergeSiblings">
<xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::node()[1][name()=name(current())]">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:call-template name="mergeSiblings"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The more complex case can be solved with this algorithm in multiple passes.
