[xsl] Truncated text string, relative to child node


Subject: [xsl] Truncated text string, relative to child node

I have an XML file like this:

<a> lorem ipsum text ... lorem ipsum <b> dolor </b> lorem ipsum ...
lorem ipsum </a>

I want to create a string of the five words from <a> right before the <b>
tag, and a string of the five words immediately after <b>.  All I can do
is create strings from the beginning or the end of the <a> tag, but
basically I want the text in the middle, relative to the child <b> node.

Thanks!
