Hi Lars,
The easiest thing here is to use a key.
<xsl:key name="childrenNotSiblings" match="b|c|d"
use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::a[1])"/>
<xsl:template match="a">
<a>
<xsl:for-each select="key('childrenNotSiblings',generate-id())">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</a>
</xsl:template>
If I've understood right you want to put all the non-a nodes that follow an
empty a node
inside it. Using a key will bundle all those nodes up and you can fetch them
using a reference
to the a node.
cheers,
Tom
