Jostein,
At 08:33 AM 10/21/2009, you wrote: Nice. I modified it slightly for the more complex structure of the actual XML, but you essentially solved it. But ... as so often, the problem as specified is just the tip of what could be a much larger iceberg. What if your data has <p> text <span>more text</text> text <quote>text</quote> text <quote>text</quote> text </p> What do you want to happen then? By generating p elements only when you match "text()[parent::p]" (or, equivalently, "p/text()"), you succeed in splitting out all the text node children of p from their sibling elements. But your problem specification didn't actually say this was what you wanted to do -- and the problem of splitting only some of the elements is at least as common. For that problem, you do in fact want to use grouping. (And I think it came up quite recently on the list).
