Should be converted to:

------ WIKI -------------

- Element1
- Element2
-- Element2.1
--- Element2.1.1
- Element3

-------------------------

when solving these types of problems, its usually easier to create a 2
stage transformation...then optimise (e.g. fold everything into 1 step
later on), try applying the following stylesheet to your xml snippet.

Not necessary here. Simply,

<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::ul">
  <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
  <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>

in the right place will output the hyphens.
