RE: space between two prints ?

Hey Radek,

If you're ouput (x)html you could use a !DOCTYPE definition at the top of
your xsl document, like this ...

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [<!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">]>
<xsl:stylesheet ...>
...

<xsl:value-of select="../HEADER/FROM/CITY"/>,&nbsp;<xsl:value-of
select="../HEADER/FROM/STATE"/>
<xsl:value-of select="../HEADER/FROM/ZIP1"/>

...
</xsl:stylesheet>


-Jeff

Radek,

You can use an <xsl:text> element to introduce a (real) space character:

<xsl:value-of select="../HEADER/FROM/STATE"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="../HEADER/FROM/ZIP1"/>

or

<xsl:value-of select="../HEADER/FROM/STATE"
/>&#x20;<xsl:value-of select="../HEADER/FROM/ZIP1"/>

or you can insert a non-breaking space character (&nbsp; in HTML) if that is
more appropriate:

<xsl:value-of select="../HEADER/FROM/STATE"
/>&#160;<xsl:value-of select="../HEADER/FROM/ZIP1"/>

For more information on why the white space was removed in your example,
read up on white space handling, e.g., in [1].

Cheers,
