Re: Create word elements from a string

Is there a function in XSLT 1.1

that will extract words from a string?
I'd like to be able to take <text>Jill ran up the hill.</text> and get
the following:

<words>
  <word>Jill</word>
  <word>ran</word>
  <word>up</word>
  <word>the</word>
  <word>hill.</word>
</words>

T:\ftemp>type larry.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="2.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <words>
    <xsl:for-each select="tokenize('Jill ran up the hill.','\s+')">
      <word>
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      </word>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </words>
</xsl:template>

T:\ftemp>xslt2 larry.xsl larry.xsl con
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<words>
   <word>Jill</word>
   <word>ran</word>
   <word>up</word>
   <word>the</word>
   <word>hill.</word>
</words>
T:\ftemp>
