Capturing with child elements in pipeline

<xsl:template match="node()|@*" mode="s2">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" mode="s2"/>
        </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

XSLT piping, Staging

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:variable name="fullxml">
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:variable>
        
        <xsl:apply-templates select="$fullxml" mode="s2"/>
    </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="a">
    <b>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </b>        
</xsl:template>

    
    <xsl:template match="b" mode="s2">
        <c>
            <xsl:apply-templates mode="s2"/>
        </c>
    </xsl:template>
     
</xsl:stylesheet>

Input XML

Handling Comments and processing-instruction in XSLT

    <xsl:template match="//comment()">
        <xsl:comment>
                   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                </xsl:comment>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="//processing-instruction()">
        <xsl:processing-instruction name="{name()}">
                    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
                </xsl:processing-instruction>
    </xsl:template>

XSLT to find the next element's type

<xsl:template match="//*">        <xsl:for-each select=".">            <xsl:if test=".!=''">            <xsl:apply-templates/>            <xsl:if test="not(boolean(following-sibling::node()[1][self::text()]))"><br/></xsl:if>            </xsl:if>         </xsl:for-each>    </xsl:template>
