This is my first problem. How to apply a template match ysing
the tokenize() function. And which order to apply (from
paragraph -> word or word -> paragraph).
It's generally easiest to do it top-down, I think.
Something like this:
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., $sentence-delimiter)">
<sentence id="{position()}">
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., $phrase-delimiter)">
<phrase id="{position()}">
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., $word-delimiter)">
<word id="{position()}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
(d) doing the output numbering.
I think you just need position() as shown above.
Sometimes you need to work bottom-up if the "sentences" can't be recognized
until you've identified the "words", for example if you want to avoid
treating "." as ending a sentence if it appears in a number. You're then
sometimes in the domain of positional grouping: create a long flat list of
words, and then group it into sentences using some kind of test applied to
the individual words.
