My question: how do I design a single sheet that will iterate through
various regex expressions.
You don't need to.
I would like to avoid a situation where I
am piping the output of one stylesheet through another if at all
possible. Also, is it possible to use unparsed-text with text that
already contains some elements?
No, because the element structure is not preserved.
My goal is to use XSLT in the place of a manual markup process if at
all possible.
A good goal to have!
Any hints would be most appreciated.
You didn't notice that there is an "alternatives" operator "|"
available for regular expressions. "a|b" matches either the pattern
"a" or the pattern "b".
I hope the working example below helps.
