RE: [xsl] xslt 2, grouping and more on indexing.

    I suggested processing each text node independently to add markup.
    
    In this situation I think the latter approach works better: 
    instead of
    
    <xsl:copy-of select="dp:sep(text()[1])"/>
    
    do an apply-templates (perhaps in a special mode) that does 
    a recursive descent of the entry subtree, applying regex 
    processing to each text node that you find.

Since I need to wrap (potentially) the outer CDATA content
the recursive method won't work here (I think).
The markup can be anywhere in the origianl <ientryX> content,
which mixes markup with entry content and 'page|appendix refrences'.
 
Davids (I was going to say hack, but I mean it in the Hackers and Painters
view) method does work for me here.

Summary:
  You can be either hacking text in XSLT 2,
    or
  Processing xml subtrees.
It gets hairy when you want to do both at once.

I've spent 5 minutes with Davids solution and I think he's doing
via variables what I've tried externally, in multiple passes.
<i>content</i> => III+contentIII-  or similar.
Process as text
III+contentIII- => <i>content</i>

(I don't think in trees as easily as David :-)

Thanks both for the replies.

  <xsl:analyze-string select="$ientry" regex="([0-9][.0-9\-]*)">
or
   <xsl:analyze-stringAND-RESPECT-MARKUP select="$ientry"
regex="([0-9][.0-9\-]*)">

Perhaps not.
