Take a look at the translate() function. This can only replace single characters, but that seems to be what you want to do.

I'd like to replace hyphens with en dashes. In XSLT 2.0, I can do this
with replace(text()), but I'm limited to XSLT 1.0.
How could I achieve the same thing in XSLT 1.0?

<xsl:value-of select="replace(//text(), '-', '–')"/>
Many thanks,
Nathan
