Re: Stripping carriage returns

[Dan Vint <dvint@xxxxxxxx>]

This may not be a complete solution but it starts to give you better control:

<xsl:template match="text()"/>

This overrides the default rule that causes text to be generated automatically.
Once you add this, I would then look at your stylesheet and look at the places
where you have used Returns and spaces for formatting the stylesheet, some
of these also get sent to the output.
