 I'm struggling with a problem that I fear isn't easily solved with XSLT, but there are many experts on this list who might be able to help. The brief summary of my problem is that I want to find certain words that appear in paragraphs throughout a very large (XML) document and mark up those words without making any other changes to my document. For example, consider a document with the following fragment: <para> This is a sample document that deals with markup of <emph>text</emph>. </para> <para> When one applies <emph>markup</emph> to a large document, one is faced with a <def>time-consuming</def> effort. </para> If one of the words to which I wish to apply markup is "markup" and another is "document", then I would want the result to be something like this: <para> This is a sample <special>document</special> that deals with <special>markup</special> of <emph>text</emph>. </para> <para> When one applies <emph><special>markup</special></emph> to a large <special>document</special>, one is faced with a <def>time-consuming</def> effort. </para> As you see from this example, I want to *add* markup to the words I have found where they appear in my result tree, but copy everything else in my document to the output tree unchanged. I tend to use Saxon (currently using 6.5.2) as my primary XSLT engine, but I also have Microsoft's MSXML 4.0 (and could undoubtedly find others if required to do so). Any guidance or advice?
