That is not paragraph structure as seen by XML. As ?David said earlier, if your text guarantees to use only (for example) CR LF TAB for its "paragraphs", then you may be able to rig up some kind of interpretation but it won't be XML. If you want XML to handle what you are calling "paragraphs" then they MUST be marked up properly. If you want to convert text with ASCII-indent paragraphs, use a processor like Omnimark, which has a pattern-matching language specifically for doing this kind of thing, eg to intrude an end-tag followed by a new start-tag: find "%n%n" white-space+ output "</para>%n<para>" Then process the resulting file with XSL. ///Peter XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
