Subject:  How do I remove the unnecessary white spaces


> Hi XSL gurus,
> 
> I am using an xml and xsl to create a text file.
> The generated text file contains unnecessary spaces.
> Can anyone help me how to remove it.
> I have defined a template in my xsl
> <xsl:template name="getDepthFirstNumber">
> <xsl:value-of select="count(ancestor::*) +
> count(preceding::*)"/>
> </xsl:template>
> 
> I am calling this template again and again in other
> template using call-template.
> The place where I use this, it gives me lots of spaces
> and then the value is printed.
> I tried using the strip-space also but it does not
> work and it spoils my parent child calculations.
> This is again a question why strip space messes my
> parent child count etc?
> I am using saxon 6.22 parser and xml spy as editor.
> 
> Suggestions and pointer are welcome

> TIA
