I have tried to stop whitespace being created around elements using the xsl:strip-space element="*" and this has not worked.
This is using the buit in processor

This is a known limitation, documented in the release notes:

Stylus Studio XSLT Processor Limitations
...
xsl:strip-space instruction. While Stylus Studio does not support the xsl:strip-space instruction, Stylus Studio automatically strips text nodes that contain only white space.

When will you support this function. I am doing a lot with xsl:copy and it always seems to put in extra new line characters

Yes, xsl:strip-space is not supported by the internal processor, as
described in the release notes. We haven't a firm date for this yet. But we
will get to it eventually.

Just out of curiosity, if support for xsl:strip-space is important to you,
why you are not using the Saxon or XalanJ processors from inside Stylus?
Have you hit any specific limitation using those two processors?

Thanks,
Minollo

I want to use debug mode and I find the attached XALAN'J to be very very slow and the Saxon to include to many unnecessary namespace references. So I end up resorting to external SAXON which has no debug

Interesting; thanks for the information.
Is there any chance that you can send us the XSLT and XML you are using so
that we can better understand the problem with Saxon that you are mentioning?

Thanks,
Minollo
