XSL: Creating HTML bullet lists

[Kenny100]

Hi Folks

I'm trying to use XSL to transform the following XML into HTML:

*** XML Fragment ***

<Clause>
<Req>
<para>Introductory text for bullet list 1:</para>
<SubReq><para>List 1: Bullet 1</para></SubReq>
<SubReq><para>List 1: Bullet 2</para></SubReq>
<SubReq><para>List 1: Bullet 3</para></SubReq>
<para>More text and introduction to bullet list 2:</para>
<SubReq><para>List 2: Bullet 1</para></SubReq>
<SubReq><para>List 2: Bullet 2</para></SubReq>
<SubReq><para>List 2: Bullet 3</para></SubReq>
</Req>
</Clause>

*** The HTML needs to be something like this: ***

<p>Introductory text for bullet list 1:
<ol type=&quot;a&quot;>
<li>List 1: Bullet 1</li>
<li>List 1: Bullet 2</li>
<li>List 1: Bullet 3</li>
</ol>
More text and introduction to bullet list 2:
<ol type=&quot;a&quot;>
<li>List 2: Bullet 1</li>
<li>List 2: Bullet 2</li>
<li>List 2: Bullet 3</li>
</ol>
</p>

*** Currently, my XSL looks like this: ***

<xsl:template match=&quot;Clause&quot;>
<ol>
<xsl:apply-templates select=&quot;Req&quot; />
</ol>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match=&quot;Req&quot;>
<li class=&quot;req&quot;><xsl:apply-templates select=&quot;para&quot; />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=&quot;count(child::SubReq)!=0&quot;>
<ol type=&quot;a&quot;>
<xsl:apply-templates select=&quot;SubReq&quot; />
</ol>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</li>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match=&quot;SubReq&quot;>
<li class=&quot;subreq&quot;><xsl:apply-templates select=&quot;para&quot; /></li>
</xsl:template>

*** The Problem ***

Instead of the HTML that I would like (see above) I keep getting a layout like this:

<p>Introductory text for bullet list 1:More text and introduction to bullet list 2:
<ol type=&quot;a&quot;>
<li>List 1: Bullet 1</li>
<li>List 1: Bullet 2</li>
<li>List 1: Bullet 3</li>
<li>List 1: Bullet 4</li>
<li>List 1: Bullet 5</li>
<li>List 1: Bullet 6</li>
</ol>
</p>

In other words, the introductory paragraphs for each bullet list (<Req/para>) get bundled together followed by all of the <SubReq/para> nodes in a single list.

I think that what I'm trying to do is fairly standard i.e. a single paragraph containing multiple bulleted lists. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

Get rid of your
<xsl:apply-templates select=ZZZZ/>
and replace with
<xsl:apply-templates/>

then put the <ol> tags inside the subreq template
rather than in the req template.

What's happening is that the <ol> being wrapped around the para as well and each para should presumably be inside its own <p>
