    copied!<p>It's a mistake to think of XSLT as processing the literal text of the document. It's working on a model, a representation, one in which <code>&lt;page/&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;page&gt;&lt;/page&gt;</code> are equivalent. However, you made the following comment on a previous answer:</p> <blockquote> <p>Every <code>b</code> is line of text from a book. Every <code>&lt;page/&gt;</code> means that one page ended and next starts. So I want to have every "page" (<code>b</code>s between <code>&lt;page/&gt;</code>s) wrapped inside <code>&lt;p&gt;</code>. I hope this explains it a little bit.</p> </blockquote> <p>The following stylesheet uses a <code>key</code> to group <code>b</code> elements by their preceding <code>page</code>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/&gt; &lt;xsl:key name="byPage" match="b" use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::page[1])"/&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="@*|node()"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="a"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;!-- handle the first group of b's with no preceding page --&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;xsl:apply-templates select="key('byPage', '')"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@*|page"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="page"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;xsl:apply-templates select="key('byPage', generate-id())"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>The following output is produced:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Text&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/a&gt; </code></pre>
