Hello Andrew,

thanks for the reply. I used xsl:apply-templates, too, but the result
was the same.

More code:
<Root>
    <Textabschnitt>
        <fn>[<info_h>auf RC<ckseite der letzten
Inhaltsverzeichnisseite:</info_h> 1885 Duala etwas 20.000 Einwohner
</fn>
        <fn>Cameraes [?] weiCe Krabben </fn>
        <fn>Duala lC<gnerisch, faul, zC$nkisch, prozeCtC<chtig [?] ] </fn>
        <p> </p>
        <p> </p>
        <h1>Geistiger Volksbesitz der Kameruner im Blickfeld des
Missionars</h1>
        <h2>EinfC<hrung</h2>
        <p> </p>...

For every h1, h2, ... element a parent element <headings> should be
included, for every <p> element an parent element <continuoustext>
should be includes and so on. Just for testing with the aim to get a
docbook structure later.

I also tried to use literal results like

<xsl:template match="h1">
            <xsl:if=".">
               <ep:headings>
                   <ep:h1>
                     <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="h1">
                         <xsl:apply-templates/>
                     </fo:block>
                   </ep:h1>
               </ep:headings>
    </xsl:template>

I added the namespace xmlns:ep="http://www.minimag.de/elpub

I hope this helps. Thanks so much,
Andreas
