Hi, Andy,
You're on the right track with for-each-group. For some of my customers, I
transform WordML into other kinds of XML. I have wound up with
xsl:for-each-group nested 6 deep within the same template (to handle the
document's headers) and further uses of xsl:for-each-group in templates that
get called from there (to handle lists).
Also, the trick of generating implicit wrappers can help a lot. Check the
following link for how to do that:

Subject: [xsl] MSXML w:p tag causing problems
Hi
I am constantly running into problems caused by the w:p MSXML Tag. The
problem is that Word treats every text entry as a w:p and does not
distinguish between Headers, Lists and any other type of textual entry...
which is reeeaaally annoying.
When there are a number of list items in Word you get something like this:
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="ListTextStyle" />
<w:listPr>
<wx:t wx:val="1." />
<wx:font wx:val="Times New Roman" />
</w:listPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:r>
<w:t>Some text</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:p>
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="ListTextStyle" />
<w:listPr>
<wx:t wx:val="2." />
<wx:font wx:val="Times New Roman" />
</w:listPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:r>
<w:t>Some more text</w:t>
</w:r>
</w:p> ... and so on ..
Now my problem is I need to group these type of lists under a single
<List> tag so I would get something like this:
<List>
<ListItem>Some text</ListItem>
<ListItem>Some more text</ListItem>
</List>
In theory I could use the <xsl: for-each-group> function to do the job,
but the added complication is that I am already using this function to
group another w:p tag further up the node tree which is a Heading and the
w:p list items are children of this Heading.
The <xsl:for-each-group> used for the Heading, processes it children by
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group" /> and I only want to create
the <List> tag once for the first w:p list item but not for successive
ones.
So I can't find a way of solving this problem without creating a <List>
tag for every w:p list item.
Can anyone help......PLEASE...
Regards
Andy
