For this, I need two things:

Since the file.xslt is a well-formed XML file itself, I was wondering if I
could do this transformation with xslt. (If I understood correctly, the
output of an XSLT transformation does not have to be an XML file)

Is this doable?

XSLT 1.0 is not well-suited to manipulation of the content of nodes and is best suited for the manipulation of the nodes themselves, creating a result tree of nodes from the stylesheet tree of nodes and the source tree of nodes.

You would need to be manipulating the content of text nodes to get what you want and in XSLT 1.0 it would require recursive calls and string function invocations.

It is doable, but not pretty. A SAX program would probably be a lot better for this task.

I hope this helps.
