I had a problem in xsl:for-each-group and it was very nicely solved in here. Now I have some other problem. I have like this as input.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<body>
<p name ="section">this is section</p>
<p name="h-title" other="main">Introduction</p>
<p name="h1-title " other="other-h1">XSLT and XQuery</p>
<p name="h2-title" other=" other-h2">XSLT</p>
<p name="">
<p1 name="bold"> XSLT is used to write stylesheets.</p1>
</p>
<p name="h2-title " name="other-h2">XQuery</p>
<p name="">
<p1 name="bold"> XQuery is used to query XML databases.</p1>
</p>
<p name="h3-title" name="other-h3">XQuery and stylesheets</p>
<p name="">
<p1 name="bold"> XQuery is used to query XML databases.</p1>
</p>
<p name ="section">this is section</p>
<p name="h1-title " other="other-h1">XSLT and XQuery</p>
<p name="h2-title " other=" other-h2">XSLT</p>
<p name ="section">this is section</section>
<p name="h1-title " other="other-h1">XSLT and XQuery</p>
<p name="h2-title " other=" other-h2">XSLT</p>
</body>
Now my wanted output is this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<body>
<p name="h-title " other="main">Introduction</p>
<section>
<p name ="section">this is section</p>

My used stylesheet(not working properly)
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:mf="http://example.com/mf"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs mf">
<xsl:param name="prefix" as="xs:string" select="'h'"/>
<xsl:param name="suffix" as="xs:string" select="'-title'"/>
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.0" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:function name="mf:group" as="node()*">
<xsl:param name="items" as="node()*"/>
<xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="$items" group-starting-with="p[#name = concat($prefix,$level, $suffix)]">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="not(self::p[#name = concat($prefix, $level, $suffix)])">
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="h{$level}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group() except ., $level + 1)"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:function>
<xsl:template match="#* | node()">

<xsl:apply-templates select="#* , node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="body" name ="myTemplate">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(*, 1)"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="body[#name='section']">
<section>
<xsl:call-template name="myTemplate"/>
</section>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But this is not correct. Things like <p name ="section">this is section</p> appear widely. not only that, there are few others like this. If someone please show me how to handle with section I will be able to do that for others too. Please tell me how to do this correctly.

I think you mainly want another grouping step; the stylesheet
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

<xsl:output method="html" version="4.0" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:function name="mf:group" as="node()*">
<xsl:param name="items" as="node()*"/>
<xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="$items" group-starting-with="p[#name = concat($prefix, $level, $suffix)]">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="not(self::p[#name = concat($prefix, $level, $suffix)])">
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="h{$level}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group() except ., $level + 1)"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:function>
<xsl:template match="#* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* , node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="body">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-starting-with="p[#name = 'section']">
<section>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group(), 1)"/>
</section>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

transforms the corrected input

That has the structure you posted I think, with the exception of the <p name="h-title" other="main">Introduction</p> element being inside a section while your posted example moved it to the top. I am not sure what are the rules for doing that so I have not tried to implement that. Please clarify whether you simply want to move that single element to the top and not apply the grouping to it or whether there are more complex rules to exempt certain elements.
[edit]In case you simply want to move all p[#name = 't-title'] to the top and not group them then the following adaption of above stylesheet should do the job:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

Using for-each-group I'm trying to add parent node by the class value of each para element. I tried to apply the grouping but the result is not good, I'm not getting the desired output. I'm confused about using the grouping in this case. Is there any better approach in this case for adding the parent node?

Here is the answer I hope this helps someone, as commented by #marthin honnen, I tried with group-adjacent, got the desired output, this helped.
<xsl:template match="section">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-adjacent="if (#class='list') then 'list' else 'nolist'">
<xsl:for-each select="current-grouping-key()">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="current-grouping-key() = 'list'">
<list>
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()" />
</list>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>

As Sebastien has indicated in a comment, you can try to strip anything after the decimal values you want to use for sorting:
<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:perform-sort select="p">
<xsl:sort select="bold => replace('[^0-9.].*$', '') => xs:decimal()"/>
</xsl:perform-sort>

If you are able to use XSLT 2.0, as your current XSLT is showing, you should be able to make use of an incrementing loop, like so
<xsl:for-each select="1 to 10">
First create a variable holding all the marker elements, the get the maximum #position attribute
<xsl:variable name="markers" select="markers/marker" />
<xsl:variable name="max" select="max($markers/#position)" />
Then, you have your xsl:for-each loop like this:
<xsl:for-each select="1 to xs:integer($max)">
To check if the element exists for each position is then quite straight-forward using the previous markers variable
<xsl:variable name="position" select="position()" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$markers[#position = $position]">
Try this XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" exclude-result-prefixes="#all">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/record/Tubes/Tube">
<xsl:variable name="markers" select="markers/marker" />
<xsl:variable name="max" select="max($markers/#position)" />
<div>
<xsl:for-each select="1 to xs:integer($max)">
<xsl:variable name="position" select="position()" />
<p num="{$position}">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$markers[#position = $position]">
<xsl:value-of select="$markers[#position = $position]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>Empty</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This produces the following output (This assumed your wanted to do it separately by each tube element:
<div>
<p num="1">Empty</p>
<p num="2">Empty</p>
<p num="3">Empty</p>
<p num="4">MSIGG1-PC55</p>
<p num="5">Empty</p>
<p num="6">Empty</p>
<p num="7">Empty</p>
<p num="8">MSIGG1-APCAF750</p>
<p num="9">MSIGG1-PB</p>
<p num="10">CD45-KO</p>
</div>
<div>
<p num="1">Empty</p>
<p num="2">Empty</p>
<p num="3">Empty</p>
<p num="4">CD3-PC55</p>
<p num="5">Empty</p>
<p num="6">Empty</p>
<p num="7">Empty</p>

This is the xml data I need to generate xslt from.
<root>
<entry id="1">
<headword>go</headword>
<example>I <hw>go</hw> to school.</example>
</entry>
<entry id="2">
<headword>come</headword>
<example>I <verb>came</verb> back home.</example>
</entry>
I want to create an html like this:
<html>
<body>
<div class="entry" id="1">
<span class="headword">go</span>
<span class="example">I <span class="hw">go</span> to school.</span>
</div>
<div class="entry" id="2">
<span class="headword">comeo</span>
<span class="example">I <span class="hw">came</span> back home.</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is my xslt:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="root/entry">
<div class="entry">
<span class="headword">
<xsl:value-of select="headword"/>
</span>
<span class="example">
<xsl:value-of select="example"/>
</span>
</div>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I don't know how to convert the value of the attribute "id," and the element "hw."
Please give this a try. I'm assuming the second class="hw" in your sample output was a typo and was supposed to be class="verb" since that's the only possibility that makes sense:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="root/entry" />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="entry">
<div class="entry" id="{#id}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="entryContents" />
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="entryContents">
<span class="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()" mode="entryContents" />
</span>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
