Ok, I've overlooked this a bit before because I tend to get sloppy with the actual name of certain concepts before, but some quick definitions:
XSL - a family of standards including XSLT and XSL-FO.
XSLT - a transformation language to convert one XML format to another. It is NOT a HTML page, nor is it exactly like php, asp, or jsp pages in practice. (It might generate HTML, but the process is typically slightly different than the other server technologies, although it doesn' thave to be). Hence it's typically poor form to say I'll have a "XSL page" since it's really a XSL transformation on a source document as opposed to say, php page that generates the output from it's own internal structure typically.
XSL-FO - A markup language to describe the visual appearence of a document. People often use XSLT to convert from the semantic markup to a presentational markup. A
XSL-FO rendering engine then can produce different visual formats from the XSL-FO markup. This could possible include anything from PDF, SVG to a Microsoft Word Document.
I highy doubt your PDF would have that output ...

So whenever you see the list1 element, you want to produce certain output. You do this the exact same as any other element.
<xsl:template match="list1"> <!-- when the XSLT processor comes across a list1 element, produce the following output --> <Textfrom list1>text</Textfrom list1> "END" </xsl:template>
Not to be rude, but before answering your questions in more details, is this for a school project? I don't like handing students answers that they should arrive at themselves by understanding the principles involved. I don't mind helping students at all. It just seems like you questions have revolved around something that look suspiciously like a final project and you seem to want to find everything already done for you.
