One solution to this kind of problem is to replace the markup by text, and
then treat it as an analyze-string problem:
<xsl:template match="bar">
<xsl:text>%bar%</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="foo">
<foo_out>
<xsl:variable name="temp" as="xs:string">
<xsl:value-of>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:value-of>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:analyze-string select="$temp" regex="%bar%\.">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:text>. </xsl:text>
<bar_out/>
</
</
</
</
An alternative approach is to treat it as a positional grouping problem:
<xsl:for-each-group select="node()"
group-starting-with="bar[starts-with(following-sibling::node()[1], '.')]">
<xsl:text>. </xsl:text>
<bar_out/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(current-group()[2], '.')"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()[position() gt 2]"/>
</xsl:for-each-group>

Subject: [xsl] preceding/following character?
Say I have source with mixed content like:
<foo>Some text and more text <bar/>. Some more text.</foo>
I need a "bar" matched template that will under certain
conditions move
that period that immediately follows the element to be ahead it.
E.g., in some conditions, output would be:
<foo_out>Some text and more text.<bar_out/> Some more text.</foo_out>
This seems like a simple problem, but I can't really fathom how to
solve it. I'm using XSLT 2.0.
