Not necessarily. Whereas you might be used to doing things like <xsl:value-of select="/path/to/some/element"/> and are shuddering at the thought of changing this to <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(/path/to/some/element)"/>, you could utilize the power of XSLT a bit more and do so-called "push" processing like <xsl:apply-templates select="/path/to/some/element"/> and have the template that matches that type of element do <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/> or you could go straight to the text node itself like <xsl:apply-templates select="/path/to/some/element/text()"/> .. in either case you could then override the built-in template for text nodes by making it do normalize-space() instead of <xsl:copy/>. <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/> </xsl:template> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
