Question re: unwanted whitespace and html output

whitespace in html
Please help! I have been racking my brains trying to figure out how to get 
the following content to be output correctly:

<content>
    <content-section>
        <p>some text <b>exit</b>, some more text that has a colon</p>
    </content-section>
    ...
</content>

***********

Example of my XSL templates used to produce the example output below:

<xsl:template match="text()">
	<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="b">
	<span class="smtext_bold">
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</span>
</xsl:template>

**********

Example of current html output:

... some text <span class="smtext_bold">
exit
</span>
, some more text that has a comma ...

Notice that the span tags and following text is on separate lines.

**********

Example of desired output:

... some text <span class="smtext_bold">exit</span>, some more text that 
includes a comma...

Notice that I am trying get both span tags and the following apostrophe to 
be on the same line.

When the span tags and following comma is on separate lines the word "exit" 
and the comma have a display in the browser with space between them (ie, 
"exit , " instead of "exit, ").

Any help would truly be appreciated.
