indexing and string replacement : position() problem in document()

hi,

I'm trying index a document from a glossary (dictionnary).
I'm using the code from Dave Pawson's **indexing with xslt** and Jeni
Tennison's **multiple string replacements**, but can't get through it
properly.

My first issue is that the position() with a document() fonction doesn't
work: there are tricky context problems that I couldn't understand. Besides,
it makes the loops totally irrelevant and end-up into an infinite loop (well
I guess that's why xalan prefers to crash.)


__mydoc.xml__
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<doc>
This doc uses a tag based language.
It tests the string replacement problems.
</doc>

__mygloss.xml__
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<dic>
<item><mot>string</mot><classe>chaine</classe></item>
<item><mot>tag</mot><classe>balise</classe></item>
<item><mot>duplicate</mot><classe>doublon</classe></item>
<item><mot>parsing</mot><classe>no translation yet</classe></item>
</dic>

To begin, I'm just trying to check if my document can be parsed for each
word in the gloss and put them into a link element. Later, I'll try to make
more complex, and substitute th "mot" with the "classe" part.

OUPTUT EXPECTED (SIMPLE)
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<doc>
This doc uses a <a href="tag">tag</a> based language.
It tests the <a href="string">string</a> replacement problems.
</doc>

OUTPUT EXPECTED (for later)

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<doc>
This doc uses a <a href="balise">tag</a> based language.
It tests the <a href="chaine">string</a> replacement problems.
</doc>

I know some of you have worked on this kind of script, thanks for any
advice.
