Marking words in a text

[Hvid Hat]

Hello

How should I go about marking certain words in a text? I've got a list of
words:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Mark.xsl" ?>
<Words>
<Word>
<Acronym>XML</Acronym>
<Description>eX tensible Markup Language</Description>
</Word>
<Word>
<Acronym>SGML </Acronym>
<Description>St andard Generalized Markup Language</Description>
</Word>
<Word>
<Acronym>ISO</Acronym>
<Description>In ternational Organization for Standardization </Description>
</Word>
</Words>

I want the words (acronyms) above to be marked within bold-tags in the text
below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"<xsl: output method="xml"
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/ <xsl:template match="Words">
XML is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879)
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Can someone help me on my way? :-)

You'd have to use a recursive
template to isolate each word in turn and test it against your list,
which would be slow.

Or have the stylesheet invoke an extension function written in a
language better suited to this task.

Personally, I think you should make this the author's responsibility.
Maybe use the (slow) find-words-and-tag-them as an authoring tool to
help them do so... but encourage them to use appropriate markup in the
first place rather than trying to reverse-engineer their text.
