thanks for the explaination and yes, you're right. I want to generate separate
start and end tags

as written - i use Option 2 now and it works

fighting XSLT
I want to use XSLT options and functions, but if the base is not a "real" XML,
than i have to use "workarounds" to realize the project.
Sometimes a "workaround" is the only way to do it.
See a sample of the "XML" - which have the HTML info in the content.
In XSLT 1.0 I'm limited - if i have 2.0 it is much easier because i can
transfer the content in new xml structures.

Enclose find a sample of the DATA content
<COL>
<DATA>&lt;SPAN STYLE= &quot;font-weight: bold;text-align: center;&quot;
&gt;VEREINBARUNG (VERTRAG)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN STYLE= &quot;text-align:
center;&quot; &gt;</DATA>
</COL>

Thanks for your input
