in the most general case of course, nesting replace() calls is always an
> option but here I suspect that you can do something like


<xsl:analayze-space select="." regex="\^([0-9]+)">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="$replacements[number(regex-group(1))]"/>
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>


together with something that makes $replacements a sequemce with  a
c-cedila in position 12
 eg

<xsl:variable name="replacements"  select="(
'a','b',...,'&#e7;', '&amp;')
"/>
