Good point, sorry for the oversight.

I am currently attempted to transform my content from within a Java
application.  I am using Java 1.4.2_04.  I have tested this with both
the default Xalan distribution which I believe is 2.2, and with Saxon
6.5.3.  In both cases I get the same result.  I will test with some
other versions, as well as try it from the command-line and see if I get
any different results.

Thank you,

Adam

I tried using Xalan-Java version 2.6.0 and Saxon and it worked fine for
me.
You might want to tell us a little background on what processor you are
using.

Thanks,
Vidya

Hello,

I am currently attempting to generate delimited text files from XML
source documents using XSL.  When I perform the transformation I get
extra newlines at the beginning of the target document.  I have read
through the FAQ and the topic: "text output method, and newline
problems", while relevant didn't provide me with a solution.  I have
included a simple xml object and a simple xsl sheet.  Any advice would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Adam

Stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
      <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
      <xsl:output method="text"/>
	<xsl:template match="people">
      	<xsl:for-each select="person">
            	<xsl:text/><xsl:value-of
select="name"/><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
            </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<people>
	<person>
		<name>A</name>
	</person>
	<person>
		<name>B</name>
	</person>
	<person>
		<name>C</name>
	</person>
</people>

My result:
