Re: How to split text element to separate spans?

I'm not sure I've caught all the details, but my approach in general to
this sort of problem is to move through the document recursively. In
other words, I'd write a template that looks for the first item to be
wrapped in a span. If it finds it, it wraps that first item in a span
and then calls itself recursively on the rest of the document. If it
doesn't find it, it returns the original content. You can do this using
functions or named templates.

This if fine and even elegant for relatively small data sets, but it
starts to fill up the stack for large data sets, so if anyone has a
non-recursive solution I'd be interested in seeing it.
