How to substring from XML content ?

hi friends,

 I am developing a system that generate xml from msword file, and than translate the xml with
 xsl by using xalan. The msword content is something like this :
> 
> ************** ms word example *************************
> Overview
> 
> Try to do it better
> ....
> ...
> **************************************************
> 
> so, when the doc be converted to xml, it will like this :
> 
> <p id="1">Overview</p>
> <p id="2">Try to do it better</p>
> ......
> ......
> 
> then, i need to write a xsl to translate with that xml and generate html...
> but the problem is i need to format the title "Overview" make it have a better look and feel,
> where the first char must be biger that other char... the html code is like <font
> size="3">O</font><font size="1">verview</font>. But how to make it posible when i use xsl ?
> the command <xsl:for-each><xsl:if test="@id='1'"><xsl:apply-templates
> select="p"/></xsl:if></xsl:for-each> will get the whole "Overview" word... so how to substring
> it so that i can display it which the font size i need ???
