Need to tag certain paragraph in one tag and remaining in another tag using XSLT

I want to take the first set of paragraph in one element and second set of paragraph in another element

My Input XML file is:

<topic class="- topic/topic " outputclass="TOPIC-MLU-Body">
<title outputclass="MLU-Body">Body</title>
<body class="- topic/body ">
<p class="- topic/p ">Insulin is a medicine</p>
<fig class="- topic/fig ">
<image class="- topic/image "
          href="SBX0139003.jpg"
          outputclass="Fig-Image_Ref" placement="break"/>
<p class="- topic/p " outputclass="Fig-Text">Caption</p>
</fig>
<p class="- topic/p ">So, to try and lower your blood glucose levels</p>
</body>
</topic>

XSL Which i used as:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="topic[@outputclass='TOPIC-MLU-Body']">
<body>
<text>
 <text_top><xsl:value-of select="title|body/p"/></text_top>
 <text_bottom><xsl:value-of select="body/fig|p"/></text_bottom>
</text> 
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I need the paragraphs coming before the figure element as "text-top" and after figure elements as "text_bottom"

I'm getting output as:

    <mlu9_body>
    <mlu9_text>
    <text_top>Insulin is a medicine So, to try and lower your blood glucose levels</text_top>
    <text_bottom>Caption</text_bottom>
    </mlu9_text>
    </mlu9_body>

But my expected Output is:

<mlu9_body>
<mlu9_text>
<text_top>Insulin is a medicine</text_top>
<text_bottom>So, to try and lower your blood glucose levels</text_bottom>
</mlu9_text>
</mlu9_body>

Im using Saxon PE and version=2.0 stylesheet. Please give me the suggestions for this. Thanks in advance.

The output you say you are currently getting does not actually correspond to the XSLT you have provided. For example, your XSLT outputs a <body> tag, but your output shows a <mlu9_body> tag.

Additionally, the | operator in XSLT is the union operator, and so will return a union of the two node sets. For example, you are doing this

<xsl:value-of select="body/fig|p"/

In XSLT 2.0, this will return the concatenation of the string value of body/fig and the string value of both p elements.

Anyway, try this XSLT which will give your expected output:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="topic[@outputclass='TOPIC-MLU-Body']">
<mlu9_body>
<mlu9_text>
 <text_top><xsl:value-of select="body/p[1]"/></text_top>
 <text_bottom><xsl:value-of select="body/p[2]"/></text_bottom>
</mlu9_text> 
</mlu9_body>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Note, if you really wanted to target the p element that occurred after the fig element, you could do this...

<text_bottom><xsl:value-of select="body/fig/following-sibling::p"/></text_bottom>
