This will produce a list of words (you can specify any set of word delimiters, which is appropriate). Then for each word, just ***de-capitalise*** (convert to lower case) the tail (substring($word, 2) ). Converting to lower case can be accomplished using the translate() function like this: translate($someString, $upperCase, $lowerCase) where the last two arguments should be defined as: <xsl:variable name="upperCase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/> <xsl:variable name="lowerCase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/> Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
