Re: [xsl] implementation of xsl:strip-space. RESOLUTION

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello Steve,

in general it's better to use

<xsl:variable name="imagefilename" select="normalize-space(.)"/>

instead of

<xsl:variable name="imagefilename"><xsl:value-of 
select="normalize-space(.)"/></xsl:variable>.

You won't have whitespace characters then and a node set or here a 
string, otherwise you have a result tree fragment, which must be 
converted into a string when used.

For more information:

Joerg
