Hi,
Yes, what Graydon says (multiple passes).
Here's a simple pass that wraps lists recursively based on a function
that determines a list level for an element in a flat sequence:
https://gitlab.coko.foundation/XSweet/XSweet/blob/master/applications/list-promote/mark-lists.xsl
It can be followed by a pass to make lists for the wrappers (in this case HTML):
https://gitlab.coko.foundation/XSweet/XSweet/blob/master/applications/list-promote/itemize-lists.xsl
Because the wrapper is abstracted, either/both the XSLTs can be
modified separately.
Using XSLT 3.0 they can be chained together (poor man's pipeline) --
or of course you can Do It With Modes:
https://gitlab.coko.foundation/XSweet/XSweet/blob/master/applications/list-promote/PROMOTE-lists.xsl
However (as I think Graydon also implies), frequently the requirement
is so far away from the generic, that it is easier to code it to the
case.
Cheers, Wendell

though so keeps the "ul" lists separated from the sibling "p" elements, have
so far not understood why a list belongs into a preceding paragraph.
I have so far found that taking a word processor format flat sequence of
elements and properly nesting the lists takes interpreting the source
for level, labelling the list with that level (generally via disposable
attribute), and then performing a distinct nesting pass where the final
list item of a list "eats" the immediate follow-sibling lists if the
list has a lower level-label than this list. Especially when you have
complex list items (tables, multiple paragraphs, notes...) it's
generally just easier to approach the problem as a sequence of passes
over the content.
