<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(para, '.')"/>

This won't return the dot, so you have to add it by hand:

<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before(para, '.'), '.')"/>

hi everyone,

I'm looking for a solution for how to get the first sentence (ending with a
'.') of an xml value?
e.g.: xml looks like this:

<para>Some text. And so on, the other sentences</para>

And I'd like to reference somehow to 'Some text.'.

Can XSL or XPath position for that text inline?

Any answers or solutions are welcomed.

Thanks.

Thomas
