 I am trying to mach the first 3 words of a node Here's a solution with a recursive template: <xsl:param name="split" select="3"/> <xsl:template match="para"> <para><xsl:call-template name="splitwords"/></para> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="splitwords"> <xsl:param name="i" select="0"/> <xsl:param name="str1" select="''"/> <xsl:param name="str2" select="."/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$i < $split"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains($str2,' ')"> <xsl:call-template name="splitwords"> <xsl:with-param name="i" select="$i+1"/> <xsl:with-param name="str1" select="concat($str1,substring-before($str2,' '),' ')"/> <xsl:with-param name="str2" select="substring-after($str2,' ')"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:call-template name="splitwords"> <xsl:with-param name="i" select="$split"/> <xsl:with-param name="str1" select="concat($str1,$str2)"/> <xsl:with-param name="str2" select="''"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <b><xsl:value-of select="$str1"/></b> <xsl:value-of select="$str2"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> It's a bit cumbersome, but it works: <input> <para>A sentence begins with a number of words.</para> <para>Here's a paragraph with 6 words.</para> <para>Short paragraph</para> </input> <output> <para><b>A sentence begins </b>with a number of words.</para> <para><b>Here's a paragraph </b>with 6 words.</para> <para><b>Short paragraph</b></para> </output> This too is much easier in XSLT2 I guess?
