Thank you all for your responses. Ken this is exactly what I was
trying to do! The only thing is, I am also using:
<xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="field"/>
To wrap the contents of the field element in a cdata tag. After using
the template rule that you provided, that cdata-section-element no
longer works. I'm not sure why.
Your transformation does not create any text nodes to be wrapped, it
is creating only <p> element children.
Again, I'm suspecting an example from you would be critically
important to understand your problem.
Perhaps you want the following?
<field name="body">
<![CDATA[
<p>content here</p>
<p>content here</p>
<p>content here</p>
]]>
</field>
Then you want:
<xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="field"/>
<xsl:template match="body">
<xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::body)">
<field name="body">
<xsl:for-each select="../body">
<xsl:text><p></xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:text></p>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</field>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
... because you are asking the stylesheet to produce text, not
elements ... the text just happens to look like elements when wrapped
in a CDATA section.
I hope the example below helps.
