Hi, If your source data looks like this:
<attr> value</attr> then the newline is significant, and is part of a text node. xsl:strip-space will remove whitespace only text nodes, so in this case to remove the newline use either normalize-space() or the translate() function. cheers andrew > -----Original Message----- > From: Vishwajit Pantvaidya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 01 May 2003 19:04 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Newline problems > > > I am using xalan for xml to xml transformation.
