From your comment "capturing the content in a string and then..." 
I'm assuming you have something like:

  <xsl:template match="p">
    <xsl:analyze-string select="." .....
  </xsl:template>

If you break this into pieces you can work on each text bit in turn:

  <xsl:template match="p">
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="in-p" select="node()"/>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template mode="in-p" match="*">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> <!--reapply in the default mode-->
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template mode="in-p" match="text()">
    <xsl:analyze-string select="." .....


I hope this helps.
