RE: [xsl] Taking flat XML and parsing into multi level nexted

Hello Paul,
 
I just tried to find a solution for your problem in XSLT 1.0, and I came 
up with this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
        <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
 
        <xsl:template match="/root" >
                <root>
                        <xsl:apply-templates select="*[1]" />
                </root>
        </xsl:template>
 
        <xsl:template match="item">
                <item>
                        <title><xsl:value-of select="text()" /></title>
                </item>
                <xsl:apply-templates 
select="following-sibling::*[1][not(self::categoryEnd)]" />
        </xsl:template>
 
        <xsl:template match="categoryStart">
                <xsl:variable name="thisName" select="text()" />
                <group>
                        <title><xsl:value-of select="text()" /></title>
                        <xsl:apply-templates 
select="following-sibling::*[1][not(self::categoryEnd)]" />
                </group>
                <xsl:apply-templates 
select="following-sibling::*[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::categoryEnd and 
text() = $thisName]]" />
        </xsl:template>

        <xsl:template match="*" />
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

I hope this doesn't induce "hurting eyes" to some of the professionals 
here, but it does the work with the given sample input.

Greetings
Christoph
