Selva,

You'd have a better chance of getting a response if your code was nicely
laid out so that people could read it. Also, using literal result elements
rather than xsl:element and xsl:attribute greatly helps readability.

In your input, the <div class='LegPrelims'> is a child of the <div
class='DocContainer'>, it is not a following sibling.

xsl:when test="(starts-with(p, 'Laid'))" tests whether the first child p
element starts with Laid. If you want to test whether ANY child p element
starts with Laid, use test="p[starts-with(., 'Laid')".

Regards,
