How to get data between headers? - xslt

Question

I am new to xslt. I want below input to be converted into output shown below:
Input:
<ATTRIBUTE-VALUE>
<THE-VALUE>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<h1 dir="ltr" id="_1536217498885">Main Description</h1>
Line1 The main description text goes here.
<p>Line2 The main description text goes here.</p>
<p>Line3 The main description text goes here.</p>
<p><img alt="Embedded Image" class="embeddedImageLink" id="_1536739954166" src="_9c3778a0-d596-4eef-85fa-052a5e1b2166.jpg"/></p>
<h1 dir="ltr" id="_1536217498886">Key Consideration</h1>
<p>Line1 The key consideration text goes here.</p>
<p>Line2 The key consideration text goes here.</p>
<h1 dir="ltr" id="_1536217498887">Skills</h1>
<p>Line1 The Skills text goes here.</p>
<p>Line2 The Skills text goes here.</p>
<p>Line3 The Skills text goes here.</p>
<h1 dir="ltr" id="_1536217498888">Synonyms</h1>
<p>The Synonyms text goes here.</p>
</div>
</THE-VALUE>
</ATTRIBUTE-VALUE>
Output should be:
<MainDescription>
<![CDATA[
<p>Line1 The main description text goes here.</p>
<p>Line2 The main description text goes here.</p>
<p>Line3 The main description text goes here.</p>
<p><img alt="Embedded Image" class="embeddedImageLink" id="_1536739954166" src="_9c3778a0-d596-4eef-85fa-052a5e1b2166.jpg"/></p>
]]>
</MainDescription>
<KeyConsiderations>
<![CDATA[
<p>Line1 The key consideration text goes here.</p>
<p>Line2 The key consideration text goes here.</p>
]]>
</KeyConsiderations>
<Skills>
<p>Line1 The Skills text goes here.</p>
<p>Line2 The Skills text goes here.</p>
<p>Line3 The Skills text goes here.</p>
</Skills>
<Synonyms>
<p>The Synonyms text goes here.</p>
</Synonyms>
I want the data between <h1> and it can contain any html tag that should be generated in output. I tried the code at: https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/bdxtqy/2. But it gives the data only if data is included under html tags. Please provide pointers on how to achieve required output.

If you change the code to match on node() instead of * for elements you get the text nodes included:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml exsl"
version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="http://lenzconsulting.com/xml-to-string/xml-to-string.xsl"/>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"
cdata-section-elements="MainDescription KeyConsideration"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:key name="h1-group" match="xhtml:div/node()[not(self::xhtml:h1)]" use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::xhtml:h1[1])"/>
<xsl:template match="xhtml:div[xhtml:h1]">
<xsl:apply-templates select="xhtml:h1"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xhtml:h1[. = 'Main Description' or . = 'Key Consideration']">
<xsl:element name="{translate(., ' ', '')}">
<xsl:variable name="rtf-with-xhtml-ns-stripped">
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('h1-group', generate-id())"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($rtf-with-xhtml-ns-stripped)/node()" mode="xml-to-string"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xhtml:h1">
<xsl:element name="{translate(., ' ', '')}">
<xsl:variable name="rtf-with-xhtml-ns-stripped">
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('h1-group', generate-id())"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($rtf-with-xhtml-ns-stripped)/node()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xhtml:p">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

It is not clear when/where you want to wrap plain text like Line1 The main description text goes here. into a p element.
For the CDATA section use of disable-output-escaping I think you need to override the template for text() nodes of the imported xml-to-string stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="text()" mode="xml-to-string">
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:template>

I haven't tested whether that breaks anything.
