Subject: RE: [xsl] question on apply-templates and strip-space From: "Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 09:36:12 -0000 |
<xsl:strip-space> only removes text nodes that consist entirely of white space. To remove white-space that's part of the same text node as printable characters, use the normalize-space() function.
