Are you sure the 'Part2' belongs inside of the div element? Because 
above the second 'partref' is outside of the (escaped) div.

It is also not clear where the 'div class="index"' comes from, whether 
it comes from the 'index' element or from the escaped 'div' element.

Assuming you want to transform the 'index' element into a 'div 
class="index"' element then you can use


<xsl:stylesheet
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   version="1.0">

   <xsl:template match="/document">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="index"/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="index">
     <div class="index">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
     </div>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="index/partref">
     <xsl:apply-templates 
select="../../part[count(current()/preceding-sibling::partref) + 1]"/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="part">
     <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
