Replacing carriage returns and StackOverflow

["George M. Pieri" <ge...@wcom.com>]

It appears that the only way to replace carriage returns
with <BR /> is to do a recursive call but....when I do my
call I get a

 java.lang.StackOverflowException....


Is there any way around this ? I am using Cocoon 1.8 running
on Tomcat.

Thanks in advance!


Calling the Recursive function
====================================

<xsl:template match="blurb">
   <p><b>Example 1: Text is normalized</b> <br />
     <xsl:call-template name="normalize-text">
      <xsl:with-param name="text" select="info"/>      
     </xsl:call-template>
   </p>
   <p><b>Example 2: Text is not normalized</b> <br />
     <xsl:value-of select="info" />
   </p>      
  </xsl:template>


Recursive function that replace Carriage Returns
=====================================
<!-- template that does a search & replace -->
<xsl:template name="normalize-text">
   <xsl:param name="text"/>
   
   <xsl:variable name="replace">&#10;</xsl:variable>  
   
   <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="contains($text, $replace)">
      <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, $replace)"/>
      <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;br /&gt;</xsl:text>
      <xsl:call-template name="normalize-text">
         <xsl:with-param name="text"
                         select="substring-after($text, $replace)"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>
