Question

Is there a way to open a tag and not close it? For example:

<xsl:for-each select=".">
       <span>
</xsl:for-each>

This is my code: http://pastebin.com/1Xh49YN0 . As you can see i need to open on a when tag and close it on another when tag (row 43 and 63).

This piece of code is not valid because XSLT is not well formed, but is there a way to do a similar thing? Thank you

Move the content between the two existing xsl:choose elements to a new template

In the xsl:when, open and close your span. Inside the span, call this new template.

Add an xsl:otherwise to the xsl:choose, in this, call the template, without adding a span.

As a general point, try to use xsl:apply-templates a bit more often, rather than xsl:for-each, it should make it easier to understand what is going on.
