You are doing too much in your regular expression and need to treat it more piecemeal.
Hopefully you'll be satisfied identifying a Roman numeral as:
(\W|^)([IVXL]+)(\W|$)
But that won't help you with:
Chapter II. What I Did On My Summer Vacation
... because you'll get:
chapter II. what I did on my summer vacation
... and the non-Roman numeral will still be upper case.
I hope the below helps.

You are doing too much in your regular expression and need to treat it more piecemeal.

When what I want is this:
chapter II. the wrecked foundations of domesticity problema. heloise XXIX. selected letters the second part of henry IV. VIII appendix VII appendix VII appendix calvin XVII illustration
Between my relative inexperience with both regexes and XSLT, thanks for any help!
I hope the below helps.
