[xsl] nodes() before and after a string delimiter

2009-10-28 15:25:12
I have the following element (I'm using Saxon9 and XSLT2)

<p>Crazing – Hairline cracking of the resin, giving it an opaque, <q>frosty</q> 
appearance.</p>

I need to break it into two halves like the following based on the – (space en 
dash space) and only the first  – (space en dash space).

<p>
   <term>Crazing</term>
   <definition>Hairline cracking of the resin, giving it an opaque, 
<q>frosty</q> appearance.</definition>
</p>

I’m used to breaking strings on delimiters and not worrying about any inline 
elements, but his time the inline elements matter. 
Is this a for-each-group solution? Break it into two for-each-groups and in the 
first test for a following-sibling[. = '–'] and the second test for the 
following-sibling[. = '–']. 

No need to apply templates at this point a copy-of will suffice.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks
