RE: Strip CRLF/newline only

Peter,

The xsl:strip-space instruction should do the trick.

For example, the following identity transformation
strips the whitespace that you don't want:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/>

  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <!-- Identity transformation. -->

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope this helps.

Bob

Up until now I've watched the white space issues bounce around wondering why
it's a problem, now I've got a whitespace issue I'm not having a lot of luck
with....

I have a bunch of XML formatted with CRLF (newlines) to make the XML look
pretty, e.g.:

        <person>
            <name>
                <last/>, <first/>
            </name>
            <dateofbirth/>
            <address>
                <addr1/>, <city/>, <state/>
            </address>
        </person>

In the text nodes there are significant spaces (the ones following the
commas) that I want to preserve.  I don't want the extension to see the
newline/CRLF's.  I assume this is a filter, but what's it look like?
