How would I go about extending the charactercount with spaces for any giving word?

aword
anotherword
yetanotherword

should become

aword+++++++++++
anotherword+++++
yetanotherword++

The EXSLT padding() function should be useful here. Passing it the number of characters and a character and it returns a string of that length. So you’d first need to check your string length (string-length('aword')) and subtract this from the number of characters you want to end with, passing this difference to the str:padding() function.
