Re: Splitting the string of an XML node for separate S

Gan:

	I think this will work for you:

<xsl:template match="foo">
<xsl:variable  name="span"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="span1"><xsl:value-of select="substring-before ($span, 
'.')"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="span2"><xsl:value-of select="substring-after ($span1, 
'.')"/></xsl:variable>
   <span class="black"><xsl:value-of select="$span1"/></span>
   <span class="red"><xsl:value-of select="$span2"/></span>
               <span class="blue"><xsl:value-of select="bar"/></span>>
</xsl:template>
