I'm looking for a quick and easy way to convert his XML (which is like XHTML) with XSLT 1.0:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<div>Hello<a href="http://google.com">this is the first</a>line.<p>This the second.<br/>And this the third one.</p></div>
</body>
</html>
to this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<div>
<p>Hello<a href="http://google.com">this is the first</a>line.</p>
<p>This the second.</p>
<p>And this the third one.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I was thinking of a tree-walk algorithm in XSLT 1.0. What is complicated are e.g. the enclosed <a>links. And also existing <p> should not be removed.
May somebody help me with this? Thanks a lot.

The <xsl:text> element is used to write literal text to the output. Tip: This element may contain literal text, entity references, and #PCDATA.
Specifies the format pattern. Here are some of the characters used in the formatting pattern: 0 (Digit) # (Digit, zero shows as absent)
The XSLT 2.0 engine is backwards compatible. The only time the backwards compatibility of the XSLT 2.0 engine comes into effect is when using the XSLT 2.0 engine to process an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet.
The Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) standard specifies a language definition for XML data transformations. XSLT is used to transform XML documents into XHTML documents, or into other XML documents.
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="div[text() and p]">
<div>
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()[not(self::p or preceding-sibling::p)]"/>
</p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="p | p/following-sibling::node()"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p[text() and br]">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match=
"p/text()
[preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::br]
or
following-sibling::node()[1][self::br]
]">
<p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p/br"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the provided XML document:
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<div>Hello
<a href="http://google.com">this is the first</a>line.
<p>This the second.<br/>And this the third one.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
produces the wanted, correct result:
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<div>
<p>Hello
<a href="http://google.com">this is the first</a>line.
</p>
<p>This the second.</p>
<p>And this the third one.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
