<xsl:value-of select="translate(normalize-space(translate($text,'
&#10;','~')),'~',' &#10;')" />



The above code does not implement trim() !



For example, when this transformation:


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:variable name="vText" select="string(/)"/>
      <xsl:template match="/">
              "<xsl:value-of
select="translate(normalize-space(translate($vText,'
              &#10;','~')),'~',' &#10;')" />"
      </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


is applied against this xml document:


<someText>

This is some text

</someText>


the result is:


" This is some text "


The function f:trim() (See: http://fxsl.cvs.sourceforge.net/fxsl/fxsl-xslt2/Tests/testFunc-Trim.xsl?view=markup)

returns:

'This is some text'
