Re: string replacement for HTML tags

You mean to get from [foo] to <foo/> or <x>foo</x>? Yes of course that can be
done just using XSLT. I have, in production here at NAG stylesheets not
using any extensions (not even node-set) that parse arbitrarily deeply
nested {} brackets (and other TeX derived markup) and convert to XML (or
HTML, depending)

if there is a chance that the incoming [] are not correctly matched then
you should definitely use a recursive template approach, so you can
catch these cases, rather than just blindly translate() [ to < and so
produce non-well formmed XML which is neither use nor ornament.
