Hi Rob, The behaviour of MSXML has nothing to do with interpreting the space between the comments -- even when this space forms "whitespace-only" nodes as per spec, in MSXML such nodes are discarded by default on reading the input. So, when I removed the 'indent="yes" ' from the xsl:output, I got the following result: <!--comment1 --><!--comment2 --><!-- comment1 ok --><!-- comment2 ok --> So, this proves that it is the way hoe MSXML interprets 'indent="yes" '. In Mike Kay's book (page 256) it is said that this behaviour is not well-defined and therefore may be vendour-specific. Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev.

The space between the comments in the root node is not XML character data, and therefore I don't think it should be presented to the XSLT processor as such. However, it is possible to achieve what Bernward wanted with a modified stylesheet:- <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/comment()"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <!-- force a linefeed before each top-level comment --> <xsl:copy/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="comment()"> <xsl:copy/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Regards, Rob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
