Yes, you're doing a lot of this kind of thing:
<xsl:for-each select="p">
<p><xsl:value-of select="." /></p>
</xsl:for-each>
when you should be doing
<xsl:apply-templates select="p"/>
Value-of essentially causes the markup from this point down in the tree to
be ignored.
In fact, generally, you're making far too much use of for-each and value-of
than is healthy in a document-oriented transform. Try to use rule-based
recursive descent processing (often called "push processing") all the way
down. The coding style should be, except where something else is needed,
that each element matches a template rule, which does something specific to
that element and then does apply-templates to its children.

Wow some great responses (and the usual not so great ones :)
The reason I did not supply any code is because a) This was
one of the first things I tried to do and because it didn't
work I deleted the code, b) the code I have now is quite
large and c) I just wanted a nudge in right direction so I
wrote an example peice of code out.
From what I have read I was probably using the value-of
instead of the recursive technique somebody suggested. For
what it's worth this is the code I have to date, I'm sure
there's tons of things wrong with it but that's part of
learning! I can already see I'm not using templates nowhere
near enough! :(
Thanks again for the helpful emails
Cheers
Craig
