RE: [xsl] Help me out on Removing the blankspaces from a textarea

["Andrew Welch" <ajwelch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

To replace all occurances of a string with another string in XSLT 1.0
you will need to use a recursive template.

You can find some examples here:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/replace.html

In XSLT 2.0 you can use Xpath 2.0's replace() function:

<xsl:value-of select="replace(.,'@{3}','&#xa;')"/>
