Dear Monks (whether ye be Monker, Monked, or Monkee):

I'm sestting up TwigHandlers like this (partial code): 

 
   my $twig = new XML::Twig(
                TwigHandlers => {
                    'byline' => \&byline,
                    'body.head/hedline' => \&hedline,
                    'body.content/p' => \&process_p,
                    'body.content/hl2' => \&process_body_hl2,
                    'body.content/block/p' => \&process_p,
                    'body.content/block/hl2' => \&process_body_hl2,
                    'body.content/table' => \&process_table,
etc. etc.

... and process_body_hl2 is pretty simple: 
sub process_body_hl2 {
    my ($t, $hl2) = @_;
    my $para = crunch($hl2->text);
    $body .= "<p><b>$para</b></p>";
}

[download]
Input looks like this: 
    <body.content>
      <hl2 style="section_head">SECTION HEAD</hl2>
      <hl2 style="subhead">subhead</hl2>
      <p/>

[download]
The output for that part comes out like this (this is a different format of xml from the input): 
<body.content>
<p>SECTION HEAD</p><p>subhead</p>

[download]
Where are the <b> tags? Later, the next hl2 in the body looks like this: 
 <p/>
 <hl2 style="subhead">2nd subhead</hl2>

[download]
And this one comes out the way it should: 
<p><b>2nd subhead</b></p><p>

[download]
Now, how come the first two did not work, but the subsequent one did?
