Re: [xsl] Eliminating leading zeros

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

any chance you are using xslt2? in which case

select="replace(.,'^ *0*','')

would remove any leading spaces or zeros.

otherwise something tiresome like
<xsl:variable name="x" select="normalize-space(.)"/>
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="contains($x,' ')">
    <xsl:variable name="n" select="substring-before($x,' ')"/>
    <xsl:variable name="t" select="substring-after($x,' ')"/>
    <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="number($n)=number($n)">
       <xsl:value-of select="number($n)"/>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:value-of select="$n"/>
     </>
   </>
  <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="$t"/>
 </>
 <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="number($x)=number($x)">
