Re: Find/replace algorithm

   <xsl:variable name="my-batch-replaces" as="element()*">
      <replace pattern="(\W)Wid(\W)" replacement="$1Widget$2"/>
      <replace pattern="(\W)Assbly(\W)" replacement="$1Assembly$2"/>
      <replace pattern="(\W)Eng(\W)" replacement="$1Engine$2"/>
   </xsl:variable>

   <xsl:template match="text()" mode="batch-replace">
      <xsl:value-of select="tan:batch-replace(., $my-batch-replaces)"/>
   </xsl:template>

I use this program along with XSLT.  I choose the best from each
world.  Right now I am converting a dictionary in Word format to be
input into FLEx (our linguistic tool) for handling dictionaries. I
export Word to XHTML and then process with the context in mind with
XSLT.  After I have done as much as I can here I switch to CC. There
are lots of items that are better handled with the changes tables.

Thank you Michael. I like the idea of keeping the processing cost

have to
loop through the lookup structure.

An alternative to consider is to put your input document into a map
and
check each map key against all the tokens.
