Yes, you're doing a lot of this kind of thing: <xsl:for-each select="p"> <p><xsl:value-of select="." /></p> </xsl:for-each> when you should be doing <xsl:apply-templates select="p"/> Value-of essentially causes the markup from this point down in the tree to be ignored. In fact, generally, you're making far too much use of for-each and value-of than is healthy in a document-oriented transform. Try to use rule-based recursive descent processing (often called "push processing") all the way down. The coding style should be, except where something else is needed, that each element matches a template rule, which does something specific to that element and then does apply-templates to its children.
