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>
This stylesheet
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:variable name="this" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="t" select="text()[1]"/>
<xsl:analyze-string select="$t" regex="(.*) – (.*)">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<term><xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/></term>
<definition>
<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$t/following-sibling::node()"/>
</definition>
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$this/node()"/>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
does that but I have not tested against anything but your input sample.
