Hello list,

having the xml data at the bottom, I would like to process it so that 
the result is like this:

---
What it is (e.g. bold formatted)
date: 2023-08-01 (italic)
Description (small font size)
Another text (small font size)

hd1 - Header 1

§ 1 First  (A first short description)
AAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBB

§ 2 Second (A second short description)
CCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDD

§ 3 Third (A third short description)
EEEEEEEEEE
FFFFFFFFFF
---

How can I process the <element>s differently? The first element contains 
a <date> tag and so it differs from the other ones. The second element's 
<name> tag contains the word "Header" which makes it different again. 
The other elements contain a <shortdescription> tag that they all have 
in common.

What could be the appropriate xml setups to generate the above output?

Michael
