Guess not, since you did not have an xsl:call-template instruction in
the stylesheet you posted.  If you do not invoke a template with its
match expression, and you do not call it by name, there is no other way
to apply it.

As an example, for just the para element -

<xsl:template match="para">
   <p><xsl:call-template name='escape-apos'>
      <xsl:with-param name='string' select='.'/>
      </xsl:call-template></p>
</xsl:template>

In general, anywhere you would otherwise insert the string value of an
element, you would call the template instead.
