Yes, I thought of that, but I don't think that it works. Say you did: <xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="(\W|^)(foo|bar)(\W|$)"> <xsl:matching-substring> <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)" /> <special><xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)" /></special> <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(3)" /> </xsl:matching-substring> <xsl:non-matching-substring> <xsl:value-of select="." /> </xsl:non-matching-substring> </xsl:analyze-string> with the string 'foo bar'. The first matching substring is "foo ". This leaves the string "bar", but the ^ only matches at the actual start of the string, not at the start of the substring-that's-left-after-the-last-match, so it doesn't recognise the word 'bar'. Perhaps you need to do non-whole-word processing and then post-process the result to find the <special> elements that are either first/last or are immediately preceded/followed by a text node whose last/first character is a non-word character...
