Re: [xsl] Problems grouping nested items within a completely flat structure

Hi David.

In principle, there could be deeply further nested lists. In fact, this is not
the case with the files at hand, so there are just two levels. But chapters
are nested five levels down: para[@pgftag=bChapterb], para[@pgftag=b1st
Sectionb], ..., para[@pgftag=b4th Sectionb], and they are all siblings
of one another:-(
And my source file is about 5 MB large, so I need a scalable solution, my own
one wasnbt...

Frank,
One quick question: can the nested lists themselves have nested lists? I
gather from the way nested lists are handled in the source that they cannot,
or is there a separate type of @pgftag for each level of such a structure?
(First level = Bulleted text, Second Level = Bullet Sub, etc.)
Regardless of the above, a first step in trying to do this with a
for-each-group would be to use the group-starting-with attribute:
<xsl:for-each-group select="para"
group-starting-with="para[@pgftag=('Chapter','Body Text')]">

>From a cursory look at your source and desired output, this would break the
elements into snippets that have a particular form of either a chapter heading
or a collection of non-list elements followed by a single list.
Then these individual snippets can be processed.
