converting DITA to asciidoc I'm trying to process complex inline DITA content
to text and at the same time both process inline markup and strip excess
whitespace that comes from having the content in a pretty printed format.I
suppose a quick fix might be to go through and un=pretty the XML in a
pre-pass. Anyone got something that does that?Currently, I'm trying to process
these files as they are in XML and make nice text blocks in the converted
content. I know that normalize-space() will strip the space from text, but it
doesn't allow processing of the markup at the same time.So if I have a call
like<xsl:apply-templates/>I get this when processing an <li>======*
