Hello,
I am trying to create some tags around a string of names and was wondering
what is the best way to do this. I have come up with the below xslt, but
it will only work limited instances. Any other ideas would be grand. For
example, if I have any middle names or more than a first/last name, the
xslt breaks.
Thanks!
