RE: Adding structure to text nodes

As everybody has said, xslt 1.0 is not the best tool
to manage the content of an element. You can do it
with some effort, as Conal has said, but you have more
options.
1. Import a library that extends the string options of
the xslt, as http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/
2. Use the extensions of your processor or exslt, if
your processor supports it, in order to get the string
functions. But you lose the portability.

Hope it helps.

Cams, you will need to use XSLT's string processing
functions, no doubt in a
recursive template. XSLT has a number of
string-processing functions,
contains(), substring-before(), translate(), etc.
Using a recursive named
template you can work your way through each string
piece by piece and do
whatever you like.

I suggest you first read the sections of the FAQ
dealing with
string-handling:


http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/StringReplace.html
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7240.html
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/replace.html

I think if you still need help you will probably
need to clarify exactly
what your string-processing requirement is, e.g. no
white space at the start
of a line, except if the previous line ... etc.

But it is entirely possible to do this kind of
processing in XSLT, don't
worry. :-)
