Hallo again,
(my first mail today somehow did not get through to the list)
again I read through the faqs (to Bryan S. Schnabel: the list with the p in it) and without any result. There are partly answers but not the answer I am looking for. I am not sure whether grouping is the right direction. 
I can not really fix a position. I can only say: Use the node <texteintrag> for all entries up to the next <uebung>, than take the node <uebung> up to the point where <texteintrag> starts again. Actually I would think of xsl:if or xsl:when, but if I choose these how can I keep the strucure? I simply need an xslt that transforms my xml, adds new elements and comprises the child elements and following siblings. Do I need something completely different to my stylesheet or is there a way to continue?

I would be grateful just for a little hint, not a perfect solution.

This is my stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="entry[not(MAT/Fundstelle/UbNummer)]">
<xsl:copy>  
<texteintrag>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</texteintrag>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="entry[(MAT/Fundstelle/UbNummer)]">
<xsl:copy>  
<uebung>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</uebung>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The result:

<total>
<texteintrag>
<entry></entry>
</texteintrag>
<texteintrag>
<entry></entry>
</texteintrag>
(I do not know how many)
<uebung>
<entry>
<UbNummer></UbNummer>
</entry>
</uebung>
<uebung>
<entry>
<UbNummer></UbNummer>
</entry>
</uebung>
(I do not know how many)
</total>

I want:

<total>
<texteintrag>
<entry></entry>
<entry></entry>
</texteintrag>
(I do not know how many)
<uebung>
<entry>
<UbNummer></UbNummer>
</entry>
<entry>
<UbNummer></UbNummer>
</entry>
</uebung>
(I do not know how many)
</total>

Thanks in advance
Elke
