intro, and quick newbie-ish question!

[Shane Knapp <SKNAPP@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hey all!

i've been lurking on here for a few days, reading and learning.  we're got
quite the resource here.  lots of good, knowledgable people!

and now that've greased the wheels a little bit...  ;)

is it possible to format data within XML tags during the XMLT processing?
for instance, to strip out puncuation marks, substitute words, etc...

for example, change this:

<problem>shane's car is broken & he can't get home.</problem>

to:
<problem>shanes car is broken and he cant get home</problem>

i think i can use DOM to help...  but seeing that i've been
learning/reading/doing this stuff since sunday afternoon, i'm still in
newbie-mode.  :)

thanks in advance!
