First off, apologies to anyone who was recently spammed by my out of office
reply. I recently changed hosts, and didn't get the filtering preferences
set right. I should have been more careful.

Secondly, I'm revisiting this problem that David provided a solution for,
and I've found case where it breaks down. If the last line (set off by
&#10;) contains a <link> followed by unlinked text, the string after the
</link> is dropped. Basically, the recursive loop is stopping one recursion
too soon. I've tried a few ways of including the substring in the
<xsl:otherwise> escape from the loop, but haven't gotten it right, and I'm
not sure that I'm on the right track. I'd appreciate any insight.

TIA,

-- Brook
