Nope! I see I messed up my solution as I forgot to handle the other body content (I was too focused on the sections).

It looks like Martin has posted an example while I was writing mine ... use his.

Good luck!

Maybe I'm using the wrong XSL instruction. Maybe for-each-group is the wrong option. I've spent the last few days reading about this instruction and trying variations based on examples posted in this and other forums without success. Most of the examples seem focused on either organizing a flat structure such as HTML or pulling nested elements up to the top level.

I think the following will do it for you.


I hope this helps!
