Re: [xsl] Normalize-Space for a template

["Karl J. Stubsjoen" <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

I tried your approach.  It works well.
Just wondering though:  is there a way to strip spaces from a template that
has been called?  My example of a URL and QUERY and DISPLAY was a pretty
simple one... if this was a much more complicated (involved) template, it
seems there must be a way to "STRIP" the spaces from this result.

Thoughts?

Karl
