You have to call one template(replacing "breaks") and apply another template(putting "hrefs") on the result of the first call.
I changed some points in your code and added one main template, called "convert". Since both jobs(replacing line-breaks and putting hrefs) have many things in common, I wrote the main template, which accepts a parameter "handler-name" and selects appropriate "job" to perform.
I generalized the problem: now the source XML doc can contain any content, not just "plain text". It is more interesting, of course :)
Even in the case of "plain text", we have to use "RTF to nodeset" conversion; explicitly or implicitly.
Why? Because when you want to replace line-breaks and then put hrefs, the input of the second "operation" will contain "br" elements; when you want to put hrefs and then replace line-breaks, you'll have an "a" elements in the input to the second operation. So, we have to use "RTF to nodeset" conversion even in the simplest case of "plain-text".
I used Saxon 6.5.2. You just have to specify "version='1.1'" in the XML declaration, or explicitly use exslt:node-set() function. I have chosen the first approach.
Here is the code:

If you'll see some #xc2 symbols(I guess the processor outputs them) in IE, change the encoding to UTF8.
