Try to choose a subject line that relates to your problem: at least half the questions on this list are from people new to XSL. Yes, it is possible. Like many things, it is much easier in XSLT 2.0 than in XSLT 1.0. (I'm not sure what part the sep attribute plays in your problem, so I'm ignoring it) In 2.0, you can do <xsl:for-each select="tokenize(textarea, '\s+')"> <datum> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </datum> </xsl:for-each> (If the whitespace in your example output is significant, you'll need to add it.) In 1.0 you need to write a recursive named template. This reads and processes the first item in the list using substring-before($input, ' '); it then calls itself to process the remaining items in the list, identified using substring-after($input, ' '). This takes a little bit of getting used to at first if you don't have a background in functional programming. The easiest way to get started might be to download the str:tokenize template from www.exslt.org (which simply does what I described above) and integrate it into your code.
