Subject: Re: [xsl] picking apart mixed content
You'll find several solutions in teh archives of this list.
The HTML DTD does not allow lists within paragraphs.
XHTML2 finally fixed the content model of p to allow lists and things,
but sadly no one really uses that.
To split up p to bring the lists out is essentially a grouping problem
so any of the xslt1 grouping idioms will work, or xsl:for-each-group
makes this easy in xslt2 (just group-adjacent on the prperty of
exists(self::listU) and then each group will be either a sequence of
lists which you process, or a sequene of text nodes and emph which you
wrap in a p. In XSLT1 you can do the same with muenchean grouping.
But my preferred solution these days is just to use div rather than p in
the generated (x)html. div is essentially just p with a fixed content
model that allows nested lists, and a slightly different default
spacing, which you can re-create with some css.

David,
In this case I am outputting HTML 3.1 for java help so my hands are tied. I
don't have this problem for my other output streams where div is allowed.
I had gone through the archives (search) prior to posting, but apparently
didn't get the search string right since I didn't come up with any good
examples. I'll try again looking for grouping idioms.
Thanks,
Craig
