EXSLT

To use an EXSLT function, you need to declare the namespace the function is in, and then use the appropriate prefix when calling the function. For example, to use the regular expressions package:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:regexp="http://exslt.org/regular-expressions">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    …
    <xsl:value-of select="regexp:replace(/root/@value, 'before', 'gi', 'AFTER')"/>
    …
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
