Here is a multi-replace transformation I wrote as an answer to this SO
question in 2012 (no regex, just replace one whole string with another).
This is just a recursive algorithm:

In the example there, it transforms:
<t>The quick
brown fox</t>
to:
The slow<br />white elephant
:)

Hello All,
I have a fairly large XML file similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>
<product>ACME Wid Assbly</product>
<product>Ford Eng Rebuild Kit</product>
</products>
I want to do an identity transform except that I want to do some find and
replace on some of the words. For example
Wid = Widget
Assbly = Assembly
Eng = Engine
I am thinking of creating a lookup XML file to drive the find/replace
actions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lookup>
<entry find="\bWid\b" replace="Widget"/>
<entry find="\bAssbly\b" replace="Assembly"/>
<entry find="\bEng\b" replace="Engine"/>
</lookup>
I am having trouble figuring out a good XSLT 2 or 3 algorithm for actually
doing the replacements. Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
