Re: [xsl] help with recursive function

[Mario Madunic <hajduk@xxxxxxxx>]

Andrew,

analyze-string would be a better solution but I will not be maintaining the
spellingBee.xml file and want this to be easy and simple for the production
team. Right now off the top of my head I don't see how to combine analyze-string
with spellingBee.xml.
