Of course. <xsl:template match="years"> <tr> <xsl:call-template name="split_years"> <xsl:with-param name="year_list" select="text()"/> </xsl:call-template> </tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="split_years"> <xsl:param name="year_list"/> <xsl:choose> <!-- if there's a comma, take everything before it... --> <xsl:when test="contains($year_list,',')"> <xsl:variable name="year" select="normalize-space(substring-before($year_list,','))"/> <!-- only make a table cell if there is non-whitespace before the comma --> <xsl:if test="$year"> <td> <xsl:value-of select="$year"/> </td> </xsl:if> <!-- ...then go process everything after it --> <xsl:call-template name="split_years"> <xsl:with-param name="year_list" select="substring-after($year_list,',')"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <!-- if there's no comma, but something besides whitespace --> <xsl:when test="normalize-space($year_list)"> <td><xsl:value-of select="$year_list"/></td> </xsl:when> <!-- otherwise, $year_list must be empty, so do nothing--> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
