Why do you care about the line breaks? Maybe it won't really matter. :-) The reason you get a line break in the output is that there is one in the stylesheet: <xsl:template match="b"> <span class="smtext_bold"> <----- LF right here! <xsl:apply-templates/> <----- and here! You will probably get what you want with this change: <xsl:template match="b" ><span class="smtext_bold" ><xsl:apply-templates /> </span> (NOTE - These leading ">" are NOT from quoting your post in this reply, they are how the stylesheet should read.) Now there are no extra line feeds or other whitespace to show up. The price is that the stylesheet becomes less readable, so do it when everything else works right.
