Hi Varun, The whitespace is part of your original xml; the xslt is only preserving that whitespace. Do you have any control over the construction of that original xml? It looks like it has been tidied and whitespace perhaps added. I think you will get what you want if the original has the newlines removed: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <testNode> <nodeInfo> <nodePeriod nodeTime="600000000"/><nodeBase base="0" /></nodeInfo> </testNode> does that get you what you're looking for? Is the whitespace actually necessary in the original or problematic in the result? --Tim Arnold -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
