hmm... how about such as below?


<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" language="VBScript">
<xsl:script>
<![CDATA[
Function TrimString(sArg,iNum)
  If Len(sArg) > iNum Then
    TrimString = Left(sArg,iNum) & "..."
  Else
    TrimString = sArg
  End If
End Function
]]>
</xsl:script>
<xsl:template match="foo">
  <xsl:eval>TrimString(me.nodeTypedValue, 25)</xsl:eval>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
