Hello John,

you would us very much if you supply some more information.
- XSLT Version
- Used stylesheet-processor

When you use XSLT 1.0, it would possibly be enough to do something like:

<xsl:template match="plus">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::a]" />
    <xsl:copy-of select="following-sibling::node()[1][self::b]" />
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Greetings
Christoph
