Re: [xsl] Newline problems

["Vishwajit Pantvaidya" <pantvaidya@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I made changes to apply normalize-space to text nodes as suggested but 
output again has no data. Do you see any obvious mistakes? Simplified src 
xml and xsl are as shown below:
----------------------------------------------XML------------------
<!DOCTYPE ABC [
...
]><ABC>
...
<info>
<attr>
<name>
ponumber</name>
<atomicValue>
12345</atomicValue>
</attr>
...
</info>
...
</ABC>

----------------------------------------------XSL------------------

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version = 
"1.0">
 <xsl:template match = "ABC">
   <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!DOCTYPE 
OrderProcessing&gt;</xsl:text>
   <xsl:element name = "Order">
     <xsl:element name ="Info">
       <xsl:apply-templates mode = "Attribs" select = "/ABC/info"/>
     </xsl:element>
   </xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>
 ...
 <xsl:template mode = "Attribs" match = "info">
   <xsl:apply-templates mode = "stripNewline" select="text()"/>
   <xsl:element name = "PO_NUMBER">
     <xsl:value-of select="attr/atomicValue[../name='ponumber']"/>
   </xsl:element>
 ...
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template mode = "stripNewline" match="text()">
   <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
 </xsl:template>
 ...
</xsl:transform>

----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

Vishwajit.
