Hi,



This could be treated as a grouping problem.
Here's a working solution:

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

<xsl:output indent="yes" />



<xsl:key name="listText" match="node()[not(self::style)]"  
use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::style[@type='para'][1])"/>

<xsl:key name="listHead" match="style[@type='para']"  
use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::style[@type='list'][1])"/>



<xsl:template match="para">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text">

	<xsl:apply-templates  
select="node()[not(preceding-sibling::style[@type='list'])] |  
style[@type='list']"/>

</xsl:template>



<xsl:template match="style[@type='list']">
	<itemizedlist>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="key('listHead',generate-id())"/>
	</itemizedlist>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="style">
	<listitem>
		<xsl:element name="{@type}">
			<xsl:apply-templates select="key('listText',generate-id())"/>
		</xsl:element>
	</listitem>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
