RE: [xsl] Paragraphs in Word XML

This is a tough one but similar problems have been solved on this list
before!

I think the design in outline is this: if you encounter a table that has a
break element within it, you need to apply a template/function that splits
it into two: everything before the break, and everything after the break;
you then apply the same processing recursively to "everything after the
break" in case there are multiple breaks.

The processing is a template rule that takes the break element as a
parameter. When processing an element that is an ancestor of the break
element, create a shallow copy of yourself containing deep copies of all
your pre-break children; then apply templates recursively to the child
that's an ancestor of the break element, then create a shallow copy of
yourself containing deep copies of all your post-break children.

Hope that makes sense, I don't have time to translate it into code!
