RE: XSL nested tag help

I assumed you were generating HTML, in which case the newlines are not
important.

You appear to want to remove the newline that follows the text 

   "This is a first test message"

in your source document.

To write a transformation that does that, we need to know exactly what
rules you want your transformation to follow: when should newlines be
retained, and when should they be dropped?
