xquery - split a comma delimited string and add text to each item

gistfile1.xq

i've interpreted what you may want to achieve, but mileage may vary

xquery version "1.0";

let $string := "test,test,test,test,test"
return
  for $text in tokenize($string,',')
  return
    <text>{concat('add some text: ', $text)}</text>

should return each text item in a <text/> element
