Tackle this in two stages. First parse the comma-separated list and construct a tree in which each value is a separate node. Then use standard XSLT techniques to process this tree. (You can do the first stage using the "tokenize" extension in Saxon, if you don't like writing recursive templates) Mike Kay Software AG > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
