RE: [xsl] Un-nesting elements in XSLT 2.0

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try

<xsl:template match="para">
  <xsl:for-each-group group-adjacent="self::image or self::table">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()">
        <xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <p><xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/></p>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </
  </
</

What this is doing is to form a series of alternating sequences consisting
of a sequence of consecutive images/tables, followed by a sequence of
consecutive non-tables-and-images; and you're then wrapping the sequence of
non-tables-and-images in a <p> element.
