I hope that's not your input, because it's not XML. But assuming that's just
carelessness, the way to solve this kind of problem in XSLT 2.0 is with

<xsl:template match="info">
  <xsl:for-each-group select="node()"
group-starting-with="text()[.='------------']">
    <emp>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
    </emp>
  </
</
