[xsl] RE: Newline problems

["Vishwajit Pantvaidya" <pantvaidya@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I did, but that did not work. The reason I feel is that, from my 
understanding of xsl:strip-space, it eliminates the standalone white space 
from the document tree. But here the whitespace is actually embedded in the 
value of an element, which is why I believe it did not work in my case.

Thanks,

- Vishwajit.
