Hi All,

I have an XML file like below:

<artfront>
<metadata>…….</metadata>
   <journaldata>……</journaldata>
   <author>……………</author>
</artfront>


<artbody>

<section id="s1">
<heading1 level="1">section-1</heading1>

<para>This is ---------para---------text.</para>
<table1>------------Table Text---------------</table>

<procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procplace>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic--------------</proctopic>
<procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procplace>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic--------------</proctopic>
<procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procplace>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic--------------</proctopic>

 <footnotetext>This is ----------foot---------text</footnotetext>

<subsect id="s1-1">

<heading2 level="2">heading2 level 2</heading2>

<para>This is ---------para---------text.</para>


<procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procplace>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic--------------</proctopic>
<procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procplace>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic--------------</proctopic>

<figure1>--------------Figure info ---------------</figure>

    </subsect>

    <subsect id="s1-2">
             <heading2 level="2">heading2 level 2</heading2>
        <para>This is ---------para---------text.</para>
    </subsect>

<subsect id="s1-3">
    <heading2 level="2">heading2 level 2</heading2>
    <para>This is ---------para---------text.</para>

         <subsect id="s1-3-1">
          <heading3 level="3">heading3 level 3</heading2>
          <list>This is ---------list---------text.</list>


<procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procplace>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic--------------</proctopic>
<procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procplace>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic--------------</proctopic>

         <equation> This is ---------equation---------text.</equation>
     </subsect>
</subsect>
</section>

Following is XSL used specified by forum:
----------------------------------------
<xsl:template match="*">
 <xsl:copy>
  <xsl:for-each-group select="child::node()" group-adjacent="self::procplace or self::proctopic">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()">
        <meeting>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
        </meeting>
      </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
         </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:for-each-group>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Observed Output - WRONG
-----------------------
<meetings><procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procdate></meetings>
<meetings><proctopic> ------proceeding topic------</proctopic></meetings>
<meetings><procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procdate></meetings>
<meetings><proctopic> ------proceeding topic------</proctopic></meetings>
<meetings><procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procdate></meetings>
<meetings><proctopic> ------proceeding topic------</proctopic></meetings>

Required Output - Correct
-------------------------
<meetings>
<procplace>------- proceeding date/place------</procdate>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic------</proctopic>
<procplace>------- proceeding date/place ------</procdate>
<proctopic> ------proceeding topic------</proctopic>
</meetings>

The problem is it a set of node (<procplace> and <proctopic>) will be couple which will come like.

\artbody\body1\section\procplace following proctopic
\artbody\procplace following proctopic
\artbody\section\procplace following proctopic

so it will note be a child for any element

I was trying this for more than a week.



I would greatly appreciate any help provided.

Thanks & Regards,

I think the problem is caused by the intervening whitespace text nodes. You can probably solve it by adding <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>.
