Re: [xsl] XSL Does not Transform Correctly

[Kamal Bhatt <kbhatt@xxxxxxxxx>]

a hyphen just requires you to use a hyphen eg

<xsl:value-of select="<data1>"/>-<xsl:value-of select="<data2>"/>

For a space you need the code
<xsl:text>&#x20;</xsl:text>

Now, if you want nicely formated white space, I have a set of templates 
to do this, look at  previous postings.
