Jim,

Sorry--you're absolutely right--I should have included the xhtml code. There
was nothing special about the <br/>'s, so I thought it was enough to
describe them.  But you never know without looking at the code!

Here's a sample:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">

<head>
<title>Investigator Assignment XHTML Page</title>
</head>

<body>
<p>Send feedback to:</p>

<p>Process Documentation and Development<br/>
Suite 1145<br/>
Extension 2799<br/></p>

[end sample]

Each of the <br/>'s above results in a double space.  Any ideas?  (XSL code
appears below, in original email).

Thanks again,

Kathryn

well thats because its probably taking a <br /> and replacing it with
<br></br> and for some strange reason its interpreting as 2 br's ??

i am certain that the problem is some default setting with your code for
transformation, as using any cmd line processor this is not an issue. So you
may have to force the correct output type via code instead of within
<xsl:output/> tag,


good luck,jim fuller
