RE: [xsl] Multiple String Replacements [with a twist]

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you can use XSLT 2.0, then xsl:analyze-string is the perfect answer to
this problem.

It's possible but tedious to do it with XSLT 1.0 using recursive templates.
It's difficult to tell you what you're doing wrong since you haven't shown
us your code.
