The only XSLT 1.0 way that I know how to do that is with the document()
function, assuming that the string can be addressed with a URI. That
means that string can be served up as a URL from a web server, or the
string can be in a file on the file system, or even a fragment within a
file.
Individual XSLT vendors may implement extension functions if you can tie
your application to a specific XSLT processor. I can't make specific
recommendations but look for such parsing functions in Saxon, Xalan,
etc. I am not aware of any such extension functions for MSXML or MS
.NET.
Cheers,
Stuart
