Question

I am using xslt1.0. I have to apply-templates between the nodes w:instrText and w:fldChar w:fldCharType=”end”/> and …Please help me..

<w:r w:rsidRPr="00ED1487">
    <w:rPr>
        <w:i/>
        <w:color w:val="E36C0A" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF"/>
    </w:rPr>
    <w:instrText xml:space="preserve"
    > DATE  \@ "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy"  \* MERGEFORMAT </w:instrText>
</w:r>
<w:r w:rsidRPr="00ED1487">
    <w:rPr>
        <w:i/>
        <w:color w:val="E36C0A" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF"/>
    </w:rPr>
    <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="separate"/>
</w:r>
<w:r w:rsidRPr="00ED1487">
    <w:rPr>
        <w:i/>
        <w:noProof/>
        <w:color w:val="E36C0A" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF"/>
    </w:rPr>
    <w:t>Wednesday</w:t>
</w:r>
<w:r>
    <w:rPr>
        <w:noProof/>
    </w:rPr>

    <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="end"/>

This transformation:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:w="w:w">
 <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

 <xsl:key name="kinBetween" match="w:r"
  use="concat(generate-id(preceding-sibling::w:r[w:instrText][1]),
              '+',
              generate-id(following-sibling::w:r
                                [w:fldChar/@w:fldCharType='end'])
             )
      "/>

 <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
     </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="/*">
  <t>
   <xsl:apply-templates select=
   "key('kinBetween',
         concat(generate-id(w:r[w:instrText][1]),
                '+',
                generate-id(w:r[w:fldChar/@w:fldCharType='end'][1])
                )
         )
   "/>
  </t>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

when applied on the provided input (corrected to be a well-formed XML document):

<t xmlns:w="w:w">
    <w:r w:rsidRPr="00ED1487" >
        <w:rPr>
            <w:i/>
            <w:color w:val="E36C0A" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF"/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:instrText xml:space="preserve"> DATE  \@ "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy"  \* MERGEFORMAT </w:instrText>
    </w:r>
    <w:r w:rsidRPr="00ED1487">
        <w:rPr>
            <w:i/>
            <w:color w:val="E36C0A" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF"/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="separate"/>
    </w:r>
    <w:r w:rsidRPr="00ED1487">
        <w:rPr>
            <w:i/>
            <w:noProof/>
            <w:color w:val="E36C0A" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF"/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:t>Wednesday</w:t>
    </w:r>
    <w:r>
        <w:rPr>
            <w:noProof/>
        </w:rPr>
        <w:t>, February 02, 2011</w:t>
    </w:r>
    <w:r>
        <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="end"/>
    </w:r>
</t>

processes (with the identity template as no specific processing has been required) exactly the nodes within the required interval and produces the wanted, correct result:

<t xmlns:w="w:w">
   <w:r w:rsidRPr="00ED1487">
      <w:rPr>
         <w:i/>
         <w:color w:val="E36C0A" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF"/>
      </w:rPr>
      <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="separate"/>
   </w:r>
   <w:r w:rsidRPr="00ED1487">
      <w:rPr>
         <w:i/>
         <w:noProof/>
         <w:color w:val="E36C0A" w:themeColor="accent6" w:themeShade="BF"/>
      </w:rPr>
      <w:t>Wednesday</w:t>
   </w:r>
   <w:r>
      <w:rPr>
         <w:noProof/>
      </w:rPr>
      <w:t>, February 02, 2011</w:t>
   </w:r>
</t>

Explanation: The key named kinBetween is defined and used to identify all w:r elements between two w:r elements with the required properties for start-interval-element and end-interval-element.
