[xsl] Multiple String Replacements [with a twist]

["Ignacio Garcia del Campo" <igarc001@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I just started working with XSLT and I find my self stuck on this issue.

I want to replace multiple strings for some for most of my elements and by 
looking at some discussions and some code by Jeni Tennison I can replace all 
instances of my strings by a simple replacement. However, what I actually 
want to do, is to replace the strings by links.

My replacements look like this:

<foo:string_replacements>

 <foo:search>

    <foo:find>XML</foo:find>

    <foo:replace><a href="xml.com">XML-SITE</a></foo:replace>

 </foo:search>

</foo:string_replacements>

If I use <xlst:copy-of select="foo:search[xx]/replace" /> the HTML shows the 
link correctly, but since I am doing multiple substitions of multiple 
strings I use recursion, and the function where the strings are exchanged 
fails to correctly place the anchor code on the output.

I get XML replaced by XML-SITE but the anchor information is lost in the 
process.

I have tried using CDATA sections, but then as you might expect I get the 
escaped string and that's not good either.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I have been using something similar to this: 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/xsl-list/2000-06/msg00200.html, but I need the 
links to be working.



Thanks.
