Re: [xsl] Removing all line breaks in text nodes

["Mark Peters" <flickrmeister@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the tips, David.

I tried the following template, but the transformed document retains
the line breaks FrameMaker inserted in the original file.

      	<xsl:template match="text()">
		<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
 		<xsl:value-of select="translate(., '&#xA;&#xD;', '  ')" />
	</xsl:template>

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark
