Re: [xsl] From flat to hierarchical structure

I have a feeling this may not be a good example, if only because it
processes all <I> elements for each iteration of <H> , but it picks up
where you started.

<xsl:template match="root">
  <root>
    <xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
      <xsl:if test="self::H">
        <H>
          <xsl:copy-of select="@* | node()" />
            <xsl:variable name="H" select="."/>
            <xsl:for-each select="//I[starts-with(.,$H)]">
              <I><xsl:value-of select="."/></I>
            </xsl:for-each>
      </H>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
 </root>
</xsl:template>
