I am using XSLT 2.0 to transform a WordML document and have run into a
spot of trouble.

I have a / delimited string and need to create a node for each word in the
string.



WordML snippet:
<w:p>
   <w:r>
      <w:t>UK/England/Yorkshire/Hull</w:t>
   </w:r>
</w:p>

needs to be output as:

<NodeSet>
   <PlaceNode>UK</PlaceNode>
   <PlaceNode>England</PlaceNode>
   <PlaceNode>Yorkshire</PlaceNode>
   <PlaceNode>Hull</PlaceNode>
</NodeSet>

The number of words in the string is unlimited.

I can tokenize the string and count the number of words in the string, but
I can't create a node for each word and it is really frustrating.

How are you doing it? This should be fine:


<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(w:t, '/')">
 <PlaceNode><xsl:value-of select="."/></PlaceNode>
 ...
