[xsl] Re: using OR in a group-ending-with test

[Jeff Wilson <jeffrey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning,

It seems that xsl:for-each-group may not be the correct way to go  
about what I'm trying to do. All I need to do is nest adjacent paras  
styled with "Feature..." in a new element.

Would it be easier to test the following-sibling's value to determine  
when to end the nesting element? Or is grouping the correct logic?

Given (simplified):

<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="Para"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="Para"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeatureType"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeatureTitle"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeaturePara"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeaturePara"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeatureSlug"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeatureList"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeatureList"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeatureList"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="FeaturePara"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="Para"></w:pPr></w:p>
<w:p><w:pPr><w:pStyle @w:val="H1"></w:pPr></w:p>

I would like to end up with (simplified):

<Para>...</Para>
<Para>...</Para>
<AnchoredFeature>
<FeatureTitle>...</FeatureTitle>
<FeaturePara>...</FeaturePara>
<FeaturePara>...</FeaturePara>
<img src="...">
<FeatureList>...</FeatureList>
<FeatureList>...</FeatureList>
<FeatureList>...</FeatureList>
<FeaturePara>...</FeaturePara>
</AnchoredFeature>
<Para>...</Para>
<H1>...</H1>

I've tried many permutations of the select and group-by, group- 
adjacent, group-starting-with and group-ending-with to varying  
degrees of success. But it seems to me after much trial and error,  
that I might just be barking up the wrong tree.

Thanks to all who've responded, you're kindness is deeply appreciated.
