Offtopic:XSLT

[COFFMAN Steven <SC...@CBSINC.com>]

I'm stumped. Maybe someone on this list will have pity on me and help me
out. 

I want to create a table of contents out of an XML document, and then go on
to create the document out of the same node that were used to create the
Table of Contents. So this is really two sets of XSLT tranformations to
create one merged result file. I can't seem to trick XSLT into doing what I
want. Any ideas? 

<story>
  <section>
    <name>Chapter 1</name>
    <content>Once upon a time there was a...</content>
  </section>
  <section>
    <name>Chapter 2</name>
    <content>Later that very night, the evil stepsister...</content>
  </section>
</story>
-----------------------
Table of Contents
Chapter 1	page 2
Chapter 2	page 3

<page break>

Chapter 1
Once upon a time there was a ...

<page break>

Chapter 2
Later that very night, the evil stepsister...
