RE: [xsl] Data from DB in xsl

Hi,

template name=paragrapher
  param text
  if contains($text, \n\n)
    <p>
      substring-before($, \n\n)
    </p>
    call-template name=paragrapher
      with-param name=text select=substring-after($text, \n\n)
  else
    <p>
      $text
    </p>

i.e. recursion is your friend. You should make sure the template handles whitespace characters between the two LINE FEEDs, but that shouldn't be too hard to implement.
