So my final solution ended up being totally different. I was trying to put all
the content into an element but for my application which is to flatten the xml
all I needed to do was to tag the first item and let the others pass through.
See the <<< below
My final output looks like
\entry_number 00002
\lx a-
\hm 1
\vernacular FALSE
\co |ga a.f.|r /|ga i.a.|r verb
\senseStart 1
\definition so, in order that perhaps
\source D2
\senseStart
\source Asp1.19
\source D2
\sectionHead Variant Forms:
\variant ad-
\co |ga a.f.|r /|ga i.a.|r verb
\grammatical_info in 1|sup st|r person singular and third person plural
\senseStart 1. so, in order that perhaps
\startExample riɣ ad-ftuɣ <<< so here is where
everything is bundled together. I didn't need to have all in one element. I
just needed the flag StartExample and all following was included in example.
\definition I want to go.
\startExample ira a-t-iẓr
\definition He wants to see it.
Thank you

Michael,
I never looked at 3.0 so I will do that now. This is getting me much closer.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll post solution when I get it done.

(1) Firstly, I think you can use following-sibling::html:b rather than
following::html:b, which is a much more contained search.
(2) To stop the search at element X, the best solution in XSLT 3.0 is probably
xsl:iterate
<xsl:iterate select="following-sibling::*">
...
<xsl:if test="self::h:span[@class='Arial']"><xsl:break/></xsl:if>
</xsl:iterate>
xsl:iterate is basically like for-each except the order of processing is
guaranteed and you can therefore break out as soon as a condition is satisfied;
you can also pass data from one iteration to the next via parameters.
