What you want to do is process the contents of o so that's <xsl:template match="o"> .. <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> now you want to normali{s|z}e space of text nodes of o so that's <xsl:template match="o/text()"> <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/> </xsl:template> or more like your initial stated req of removing newlines: now you want to normali{s|z}e space of text nodes of o so that's <xsl:template match="o/text()"> <xsl:value-of select="translate(.,' ','')"/> </xsl:template> David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
