One day closer to death...

Been spending a little more time than I'd like with XSLT.  I recently needed a split function that would recursively create elements based on a delimited string.  Well, although XSLT 2.0 appears to have support for split, 1.0 does not.  So here goes for anyone who might need it.

<xsl:template match="some_delimited_string">
   <xsl:if test="normalize-space(.)">
      <xsl:call-template name="split">
         <xsl:with-param name="text" select="."/>
         <xsl:with-param name="element">YourElementName</xsl:with-param>
         <xsl:with-param name="delim">/</xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="split">
   <xsl:param name="text" select=""/>
   <xsl:param name="element" select=""/>
   <xsl:param name="delim" select=""/>
   <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="contains($text, $delim)">
         <xsl:element name="{$element}">
            <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, $delim)"/>
         </xsl:element>
         <xsl:call-template name="split">
            <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, $delim)"/>
            <xsl:with-param name="element" select="$element"/>
            <xsl:with-param name="delim" select="$delim"/>
         </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:element name="{$element}">
         <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
      </xsl:element>
   </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
