Paragraphs in Word XML

2006-01-04 06:52:06
Hello,

I have an xml file containing the data for my genealogical report. It contains 
table elements and section elements and within sections there are person - 
relation and notices elements.
Notices elements contain notice elements with information such as birth dates 
and places but also long texts about what the person did. The text is divided 
into para elements and some of them must be written into separate paragraps in 
the output.

Word XML requires that <body> element contains <p> (paragraph) elements. When I 
use XSTL to create my document I would usually transform one section in my XML 
into a <p> element in Word XML. But if the text contains paragraph marks I need 
to fininsh the current Word paragraph and start a new one (with a different 
style) but I don't know if I can do that in XSLT.

I'll add an example at the end of this message of my xml.

My xml looks like this: All of it should go to one pargraph if the <notice 
tag="NOTE"> would not contain the <para type="NEW"> element. The rest of the 
text should go to the second paragraph. 

How can I split the text in the example into two different elements on output???
Regards
Kaarle
