[xsl] problem with creating structure

---

---

Hello list,

XSL exasperates me! I have the following XML structure:

<Root>
    <Textabschnitt>
        <h1>Geistiger Volksbesitz der Kameruner im Blickfeld des
Missionars</h1>
        <h2>EinfC<hrung </h2>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <h2>I.Teil: Der &#65279;Mensch B ein &#65279;Leib </h2>
        <h3>Allgemeines </h3>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
        <p>...</p>
    </Textabschnitt>
</Root>

This should be transformed into the following XML structure:

<set>
    <book>
        <bookinfo/>
        <title/>
        <chapter>
            <title/>
            <para/>
            <sect1>
                <title/>
                <para/>
            </sect1>
            <sect2>
                <title/>
                <para/>
            </sect2>
            <sect3>
                <title/>
                <para/>
            </sect3>
        </chapter>
    </book>
</set>

I want to insert an element <chapter> before the element <h2> but only
for the first element <h2>. The second element <h2> should be
transformed to <title>. And I need to output every <p> element
according to its proir element until the next <h2>, <h3>, ... occures.
I have the following XSL code which generates for every <h2> element
an element <chapter>.

    <xsl:template match="Root">
        <xsl:element name="set">
            <xsl:element name="book">
                <xsl:element name="bookinfo"/>
                <xsl:element name="title">
                    <xsl:value-of select="/h1"/>
                </xsl:element>
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
            </xsl:element>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="h2">
        <xsl:for-each select=".">
            <xsl:if test="position() = 1">
                <xsl:element name="chapter">
                    <xsl:element name="title">
                        <xsl:value-of select=".[position() = 1]"/>
                    </xsl:element>
                </xsl:element>
            </xsl:if>
            <xsl:if test="position() != 1">
                <xsl:element name="title">
                    <xsl:value-of select=".[position() != 1]"/>
                </xsl:element>
            </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="h3">
        <xsl:for-each select=".">
            <xsl:element name="sect1">
                <xsl:element name="title">
                    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                </xsl:element>
            </xsl:element>
        </xsl:for-each>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="h4">
        <xsl:for-each select=".">
            <xsl:element name="sect2">
                <xsl:element name="title">
                    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                </xsl:element>
                <xsl:for-each select="Root/Textabschnitt/h4/p">
                    <xsl:element name="para">
                        <xsl:value-of select="p"/>
                    </xsl:element>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </xsl:element>
        </xsl:for-each>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:template>

Unfortunately I cannot see the problem. Any hint from the experts? I
hope this is enough code.

Thanks so much,
Andreas
