You can use the str-split-to-words template of FXSL 1,x

Here is an example of using it:


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:ext="http://exslt.org/common"
>

   <xsl:import href="strSplit-to-Words.xsl"/>

   <xsl:output indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:variable name="vwordNodes">
        <xsl:call-template name="str-split-to-words">
          <xsl:with-param name="pStr" select="/"/>
          <xsl:with-param name="pDelimiters"
                          select="', &#9;&#10;&#13;'"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:variable>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="ext:node-set($vwordNodes)/*"/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="word" priority="10">
      <xsl:value-of select="concat(position(), ' ', ., '&#10;')"/>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


When applied on the following XML document:

<t>Use FXSL to do this</t>

the result is:

1 Use
2 FXSL
3 to
4 do
5 this
