I need help converting an XSLT 1.0 file to 2.0 (so I can use the XSLT 2.0 replace() function call).

I’ve Googled, searched different books and SO with no success. I tried changing version="1.0" to 2.0 and changing html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en" to simply html but this all just results in XSLTProcessor errors.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is my XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"
        doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" 
        doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" encoding="ISO-8859-1" /> 
<xsl:template match="/">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

    In addition to changing the version attribute to '2.0', you need to feed your XSLT 2.0 code to an XSLT 2.0 processor.

    At present, some of the XSLT 2.0 processors I use are:

    Do note that an existing XSLT 1.0 code may behave differently under XSLT 2.0 — the most obvious differences are that <xsl:value-of> no longer produces the string value of only the first node from a node-set, and that in XSLT 2.0 the dreaded RTF type has been eliminated, so no xxx:node-set() extension function is needed/provided.
