Parsing strings

[f_atencia]

Say I have an element

How can I break the long string to when it hits the comma, it separates the animals into substrings? An example output is shown below:

dogs
cats
donkey
turtle
rabbit

Help is appreciated.
Thanks

You could use the fn:tokenize function.

fn:tokenize(pets/@animale, ",")

Tokenize is a XSLT2.0 feature. Is there any recursive template I can use in XSLT V1.0?
