i want to retain some tags as it is after parsing. BUt my current parsing returns plain text.
<div class="tr-summaryinfo"> and <p class="tr-summaryitem"> being converted as expected, rest of the content looses its tags returned as plain text.
<div class="tr-summaryinfo">
<p class="tr-summaryitem">
<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/> returns all tags as they are, but vomits transformation.
<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
please help.**

Since you need to retain some tags as is in the output, you can start with an identity transform template which copies the input as is to the output.
identity transform template
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
In the template matching body use <xsl:apply-templates> instead of <xsl:copy-of>.
body
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:copy-of>
<xsl:template match="body">
<div id="storybodycontent">
<span class="storycontent">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</span>
</div>
</xsl:template>
The complete XSLT will look like
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="body">
<div id="storybodycontent">
<span class="storycontent">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</span>
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="div[@class='tr-summaryinfo']">
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p[@class='tr-summaryitem']">
<li>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This should give the required output.
