Re: [xsl] Problems grouping nested items within a completely flat structure

Hi David.

In principle, there could be deeply further nested lists. In fact, this is not 
the case with the files at hand, so there are just two levels. But chapters are 
nested five levels down: para[@pgftag=’Chapter’], para[@pgftag=’1st Section’], 
..., para[@pgftag=’4th Section’], and they are all siblings of one another:-(
And my source file is about 5 MB large, so I need a scalable solution, my own 
one wasn’t...

Frank,
One quick question: can the nested lists themselves have nested lists? I gather 
from the way nested lists are handled in the source that they cannot, or is 
there a separate type of @pgftag for each level of such a structure? (First 
level = Bulleted text, Second Level = Bullet Sub, etc.)
Regardless of the above, a first step in trying to do this with a 
for-each-group would be to use the group-starting-with attribute:
<xsl:for-each-group select="para" 
group-starting-with="para[@pgftag=('Chapter','Body Text')]">

From a cursory look at your source and desired output, this would break the 
elements into snippets that have a particular form of either a chapter heading 
or a collection of non-list elements followed by a single list.
Then these individual snippets can be processed.
