In order to distinguish these two cases, you *must* preserve spaces. Once the space is stripped, they are identical, and no amount of XSLT wrangling will help. I will try to look a litle into Michael Kay's solution, then. The problem, though, is that I only want ' ' preserved, not linefeed and all that kind of things - these are tagged in the xml document: <Doc> <P>This is the document with a line feed<Newline/>so this will be on a new line, but not<NBSP/> this, which will be on the same line<Bold> Bold text</Bold> <Italic>Italic text, which will be place besides "Bold text" because of the 'whitespace problem'</Italic></P> </Doc> I search for NBSP, Newline, Bold, Italic and such and use the appropriate action to get the right output. Example: <xsl:template match="Bold">
<B><xsl:apply-templates /></B>
</xsl:template>Therefore, preserving whitespace, like what was suggested in Michael Kay's responce, will give other problems as well. If I do preserve whitespace, how do I ensure that only spaces between tags are carried over to the output document? - I see now that I should perhaps have been more informative in my first mail, but I tried to keep it short.
