How to group by the elements in XSL - xslt-2.0

I have an HTML of the following process.
<p class="Ahead">FIRST SECTION</p>
<p class="Text">with a moisture content of 16.34</p>
<p class="Ahead">SECOND SECTION</p>
<p class="Bhead">Second First Section</p>
<p class="Text">with a moisture content of 20.56</p>
<p class="Chead">Second first first section</p>
<p class="Text">with a moisture content of 48.15</p>
The Ahead, Bhead and Chead should be individual group. How it is possible to group it.
The output should be follow below.
<sec>
<title>FIRST SECTION</title>
<p class="Text">with a moisture content of 16.34</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>SECOND SECTION</title>
<sec
<title>Second First Section</title>
<p class="Text">with a moisture content of 20.56</p>
<sec>
<title>Second first first section</title>
<p class="Text">with a moisture content of 48.15</p>
</sec>
</sec>
</sec>
Thanks in advance.

Something like this:
<xsl:function name="f:group">
<xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:param name="population" as="element()*"/>
<xsl:variable name="name" select="('Ahead', 'Bhead', 'Chead')[$level]"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="$population"
group-starting-with="p[#class=$name]">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="#class='Text'">
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:sequence select="f:group($level+1, current-group())"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:function>
then:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:sequence select="f:group(1, //p)"/>
</xsl:template>
Not tested, just something for you to start with.

making a non logic flat structure hierarchical

I want to group by headers, but when the structure isn't logical the sectioning stops. For example <h2> followed by <h4>. See example. I would like to see the <h4> sectioned when there is no <h3> but I can't seem to get it work. Could someone help me with that? I work with xslt 2.0.

A regular grouping can be done with a recursive function:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 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"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="prefix" as="xs:string" select="'h'"/>
<xsl:param name="max-level" as="xs:integer" select="6"/>
<xsl:function name="mf:group" as="node()*">
<xsl:param name="nodes" as="node()*"/>
<xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="$nodes" group-starting-with="*[local-name() eq concat($prefix, $level)]">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="self::*[local-name() eq concat($prefix, $level)]">
<section class="level">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group() except ., $level + 1)"/>
</section>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$level lt $max-level">
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group(), $level + 1)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
</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="*[h1 | h2 | h3 | h4 | h5 | h6]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:group(*, 1)"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
That transforms
<document id="21" state="Schrijven" documentTypeName="News">
<document track-changes="false" version="1">

<p/>

<p>Some text</p>

<h4>Title h4</h4>

into

You need to add your templates for the other elements and maybe, if the first level needs special treatment, extend the function with some conditional checks or write a template or function for the first level.

How to group the elements in XSL?

I have an HTML of the following process.
<p class="Reference_Unnum" id="RefId_2"><span class="first_name" dir="Author" value="Klingmann">Klingmann, </span><span class="last_name" dir="Author" value="Anna.">A</span>, <span class="first_name" dir="Author" value="John">John, </span><span class="last_name" dir="Author" value="Kumar">K</span>, <span class="first_name" dir="Author" value="William">William, </span><span class="last_name" dir="Author" value="Jaya">J</span> & <span class="first_name" dir="Author" value="Hannah">Hannah, </span><span class="last_name" dir="Author" value="Leslie.">L</span> <span class="chapter_title" value="Sample Chapter title">Sample Chapter title. </span>In: <span class="first_name" dir="Editor" value="Mihail">Mihail, </span><span class="last_name" dir="Editor" value="Popescu">P</span>, <span class="first_name" dir="Editor" value="Dong">Dong, </span><span class="last_name" dir="Editor" value="Xu">X</span> & <span class="first_name" dir="Editor" value="Hannah">Hannah, </span><span class="last_name" dir="Editor" value="Leslie.">L</span> (eds.) <span class="book_title" value="Sample Book title">Sample Book title.</span></p>
The author and editor name should be group. How it is possible to group first name and last name.
The output should be follow below.
<reference>
<authors>
<author>
<given-name>Klingmann</given-name>
<surname>A</surname>

How to turn-off showing child items for selected Main Menu items in Umbraco CMS?

In order to explain my issue easier, please first see this photo
On my template I have already configured Top navigation but problem is that I am trying to make new menu Item which will be called 'News' and thing is that I don't want that every out of 99 news items I will publish (in next two months), to be autmatically available as sumbenu child item under 'News'.

Ok - you have two options. A quick hack or a full solution.
The quick hack is to update the second macro where the subnav is called and exclude the subnav being called where it's the news page (and you can include other pages in here too)
In this example I've used node ID 1107 to be the ID of your news page, but you will need to update this with your actual news page ID.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
exclude-result-prefixes="umbraco.library"
>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:param name="currentPage" />
<!-- Specify level of the top node for a language (usually 1) -->
<xsl:variable name="level" select="1" />
<!-- Grab the top node -->
<xsl:variable name="siteRoot" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::*[#level = $level]" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<ul class="menu">
<!-- Create the Home link -->
<li>
<xsl:if test="$currentPage/#id = $siteRoot/#id">
<xsl:attribute name="class">sel</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($siteRoot/#id)}">
<xsl:value-of select="$siteRoot/#nodeName" />
</a>
</li>
<!-- Process all children of $siteRoot (if any) -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="$siteRoot/*[#isDoc][not(umbracoNaviHide = 1)]" />
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Generic template for all nav links -->
<xsl:template match="*[#isDoc]">
<li>
<xsl:if test="#id = $currentPage/#id">
<xsl:attribute name="class">sel</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(#id)}">
<xsl:value-of select="#nodeName" />
</a>
<!-- Render sub menu if necessary excluding the news pages -->
<xsl:if test="not(#id=1107)">
<xsl:call-template name="submenu" />
</xsl:if>
</li>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Template for Inactive links -->
<xsl:template match="*[#isDoc][umbracoNaviInactive = 1]">
<li>
<xsl:if test="#id = $currentPage/#id">
<xsl:attribute name="class">sel</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<span>
<xsl:value-of select="#nodeName" />
</span>
<!-- Submenu? -->
<xsl:call-template name="submenu" />
</li>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Template checking for, and processing any submenu -->
<xsl:template name="submenu">
<xsl:variable name="subPages" select="*[#isDoc][not(umbracoNaviHide = 1)]" />
<xsl:if test="$subPages">
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$subPages" />
</ul>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The proper way to do it would be to add a property to your document type to include a property to say do not list children or similar, and then test for that in the XSLT, but that's a much more involved fix, and for that I suggest you read up a bit more on how XSLTs work. Let me know if you want to go down that route and there are plenty of resources I can direct you to
thanks,
