I have TEI markup where nodes (text nodes and some elements) are
interspersed with table and figure elements, like this:
<note>
text text <ref type="whatever">text</ref>
<table>...</table>
text text
<figure>...</figure>
text text
<table>...</table>
<table>...</table>
text text
</note>
There can be nodes before, between, and after tables.
I want to produce a corresponding XHTML while also wrapping all the
nodes between tables into <p>, so they're on the same block-level (for
simplicity, lets say <xhtml:img> is also block-level):
This is a classic use case for XSLT 2.0's for-each-group instruction.
Are you using 2.0?
If so, an approach like
<xsl:for-each-group select="note/node()" group-adjacent="if
(self::table) then 'table' else 'interstitial'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="current-grouping-key() eq 'table'">
<!-- do what you do to tables -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="current-grouping-key() eq 'interstial'>
<!-- wrap everything else -->
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- you should never get here; die loudly -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each-group>
ought to work. (The pattern also extends.)
If you have to individual wrap adjacent tables you may want a different
grouping attribute, and you might want to select
note/node()[normalize-space()] instead, to avoid white-space only text
nodes.
