hi seniors ,Pls take a look at my XML:

<root><library><name>lib</name><address>123 abc strt </address><books><book><title>abc</title><isbn>91-7-182-83-38</isbn></book><book><title>rty</title><isbn>91-6-183-87-21</isbn></book><bookset><title>set1</title><book><title>qri</title><isbn>91-0-172-99-45</isbn></book><book><title>agk</title><isbn>96-3-146-24-52</isbn></book><book><title>vbn</title><isbn>92-7-765-34-97</isbn></book></bookset><book><title>lkj</title><isbn>94-6-369-57-28</isbn></book><book><title>tgb</title><isbn>97-4-617-05-01</isbn></book><bookset><title>set2</title><book><title>egm</title><isbn>95-3-984-27-10</isbn></book><book><title>pjc</title><isbn>97-7-872-49-38</isbn></book></bookset><book><title>wer</title><isbn>97-6-325-26-19</isbn></book></books></library></root>

The output I'm looking for is something like this:

<html><head><title>books</title><body>9171828338 OR 9161838721<a href="link">set1</a>9463695728 OR 9746170501<a href="link">set2</a>9763252619</body></html>

But no matter wat I do, either all the <book>ISBNs are displayed right at the top or the bottom together and the links are displayed together. But whenever i encounter a <book> i want its ISBN and if the next tag too is a <book> then i want to add the ISBN of this too and so on till i reach a <bookset> which i deal with differently. But this doesnt seem possible. Any suggestions?

hello again,i've the following XSL code:

<xsl:template match="root/library"><xsl:apply-templates select="books/book|books/bookset"/></xsl:template><xsl:template match="/root/library/books/book"><xsl variable name="isbn1" select="isbn"><xsl:value-of select="translate($isbn1,'-','')"><br/></xsl:template><xsl:template match="/root/library/books/bookset"><a href="link"><xsl:value-of select="title"></a><br/></xsl:template>

this gives the following output:

9171828338<br/>9161838721<br/><a href="link">set1</a><br/>9463695728<br/>9746170501<br/><a href="link">set2</a><br/>9763252619<br/>

but i want the 'leaf' <book>s' occuring successively to be grouped together.(9171828338 OR9161838721<br/> shud be the first line n so on.) And any number of <book> can appear together. I tried using for-each and following-sibling but that didnt work out either.Is this even possible? Pls do help me out . Any help is much appreciated.Thanks.
