It sounds as if the problems with your current code might be fairly trivial,
so show us the code and let's see if you're already 99% of the way there,
rather than starting again from scratch.
Having said that, I would normally tackle this using <xsl:for-each-group
group-starting-with="br"> rather than using the << and >> operators, which
are at a rather more primitive level.

Subject: [xsl] Trying to select sibling nodes between two nodes
I have some unfortunate xml that I am trying to parse:
<label>first text<br/>second<emphasis>bold</emphasis>
text<br/>third text</label>
I need to transform this into:
<label>
<flowPara>first text</flowPara>
<flowPara>second<emphasis>bold</emphasis> text</flowPara>
<flowPara>third text</flowPara> </label>
Basically I need to select nodes between nodes in a "flat"
data progression. I can think of some ugly approaches that
would accomplish this but it seems I should be able to use
"<<" and ">>" to select nodes between occurrences of <br/>.
However, no matter how I attempt to use these operators the
result is a syntax error with "<" being illegal.
Can anyone point me to an example of how I can unflatten this xml?
Thanks in advance - Steve
