Using this xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<test>http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7240.html#d201e246
</test>

And this stylesheet

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:template match="/test">	
		<html>
			<head></head>
			<body>
				<xsl:call-template name="chop">
					<xsl:with-param name="txt"
select="." />
				</xsl:call-template>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
	
	<xsl:template name="chop">
		<xsl:param name="txt" />
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="string-length($txt) &gt; 20">
<xsl:text /><xsl:value-of select="substring($txt, 1, 20)" /><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
				<xsl:call-template name="chop">
					<xsl:with-param name="txt"
select="substring($txt, 20)" />
				</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text /><xsl:value-of select="$txt" />
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You should get what you need.

Ciao Chris
