Search and Replace
No doubt these are available all over the web, but here are my templates for doing a search and replace in XSL. There are two version of this template, one which includes a “disable-output-escaping” directive.
<!-- ****************************************************************** -->
<!-- template that does a search & replace -->
<xsl:template name="replace-text">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="replace" />
<xsl:param name="by" /><xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text, $replace)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, $replace)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$by" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replace-text">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, $replace)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace" />
<xsl:with-param name="by" select="$by" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when><xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Upper case a string
Upper case a string – the lower case equivalent should be fairly obvious! This will, of course, only work with the characters included in the list.
<xsl:template name="UpperCase"><xsl:param name="sInput"/>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(
$sInput,
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz',
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')"/></xsl:template>
