Then in your template
You need to process the string 'Worked for XYZ Inc.' such that you
1. get the substring before 'XYZ'
2. process the XYZ
3. get the substring after 'XYZ'

     <xsl:template match="experience">
       <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(.,$companyName)"/>
         <a href="{$companyURL}">
            <xsl:value-of select="$companyName"/>
         </a>
       <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(.,$companyName)"/>
    </xsl:template>

2.  You can simply put one in.
<experience dates="1990 - 2000" company="Worked for XYZ Inc.">

     <xsl:template match="experience">
       <xsl:value-of select="@dates"/>
       <xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>
       <xsl:value-of select="@company"/>
    </xsl:template>

Hi

1.    How do I transform a portion of text in an XML document so that I can
nest it within hyperlink tags in an XSL stylesheet for HTML display, as
follows?

a. Content:

<experience>Worked for XYZ Inc.</experience>

transformed to HTML (where [XYZ] = hyperlink to www. xyz.com):

Worked for [XYZ] Inc.

b. Values:

<experience dates="1990 - 2000" company="Worked for XYZ Inc."/>

transformed to HTML (where [XYZ] = hyperlink to www. xyz.com):

1990 - 2000 Worked for [XYZ] Inc.

2.    Which throws up another question: is it possible to insert a
non-breaking space between text during the transformation e.g. between the
2000 and the 'Worked' as above?

Thanks

Charles
