UPDATE: I think I have answered most of this question now, except the handling of \[code\]<pgBreak>\[/code\]. you can see my updates and current \[code\]XSLT\[/code\] at the end of this post under the EDITI asked a similar question yesterday, and received good answers. However, I have since realized this didn't cover all my bases so I am asking a more detailed question today.

I want to avoid divits (overuse of divs) so wraping each p in a div is out, but I also am trying to avoid invalid HTML. for example it would be easy to take the parent p (xml:id=a-01) and wrap it aroud its descendants, however, a block level \[code\]<div>\[/code\] and another \[code\]<p>\[/code\] would be invalid, and the browser would intrepret everything after the end of the text as orphaned text. I have tried various modified \[code\]XSLT\[/code\]s from my question from yesterday. However, I find myself in a bit of unfamiliar territory. I would also benefit a concise explanation of the solution so I can start to better understand XSLT, as it looks like I will be spending more time with it in the upcoming months. I should probably pick up book by Michael Kay or something. EDIT: current version of the XSLT I am working withnote: I Haven't attempted the page breaks yet. Also, I cannot get the \[code\]<meta>\[/code\] tag to close....oxygen 14 keeps complaining about that. \[code\]<xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:apply-templates/> </body> </html></xsl:template><xsl:template match="p[not((parent::note,.//p, .//div))]"> <p data-chunkID="{@xml:id}"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </p></xsl:template><xsl:template match="p[.//p, .//div]"> <xsl:for-each-group select="node()" group-adjacent="boolean((self::text(), self::note.ref,self::highlight))"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()"> <p data-chunkID="{../@xml:id}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/> </p> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="self:
