Hi. Try this template: <xsl:template name="reverse"> <xsl:param name="str" select="string(.)"/> <xsl:param name="res" select="''"/> <xsl:param name="sep" select="''"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains($str,' ')"> <xsl:call-template name="reverse"> <xsl:with-param name="str" select="substring-after($str,' ')"/> <xsl:with-param name="sep" select="' '"/> <xsl:with-param name="res" select="concat(substring-before($str,' '),$sep,$res)"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="concat($str,$sep,$res)"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> It recursively breaks the string on the space char and concat each peace backwardly.
