Re: [xsl] Removing line-feeds on a imported tree via document

[António Mota <amsmota@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael:

That was the second try i've done, but it did not work because, as far
as i can tell, the MenuData nodes i want to normalize-space to are
being "imported" by using

<xsl:variable name="xmldoc" select="document($xmluri)"/>

so they aren't in the original tree and it seems that the
<xsl:template match="MenuData"> doesn't match then.

Or should they being matched?
