Hi everyone, I've tried all day but stuck now - I've seen solutions for 
problems similar  to mine - but wasn't able to re-use 'em:

my input is like

<doc>

     <p>text</p>
     <p>Start Table</p>
     <p>Special Content text</p>

     <p>Stop Table</p>

     <p>text</p>
</doc>

and want to transform ist to something like

<doc>
 <p>text</p>
 <table>
      <p>Special Content text</p>
 </table>
 <p>text</p>
</doc>

but my result-tree is
<doc>
 <p>text</p>
 <table>
      <p>Special Content text</p>
      <p>Stop Table</p>
      <p>text</p>
 </table>
 <p>Special Content text</p>
 <p>Stop Table</p>
 <p>text</p>
</doc>

with this code


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:template match="@* | node()"><xsl:copy>   <xsl:apply-templates 
select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:copy></xsl:template>

<!-- ? ? ? ? ? ? -->
  <xsl:key name="TableGroup"   match="p[contains(.//text(),'Start')]" 
use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::p[contains(.//text(),'Start')][1])"/>

 <xsl:template match="p[contains(.//text(),'Start')]">
  <table>
        <xsl:copy-of   select="key(TableGroup,generate-id(.))" />
  </table>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

 - but doesnt work - as shown

thank you very much
