xsl value of whitespace
You need to test to determine if the preceding-sibling element of a <term> is also a <term>, if so, put a space before the output like this:

  <xsl:template name="term" match="term">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::*[name()='term']">
        <a href="glossary.cfm?ID={@id}"> <xsl:value-of select="text()"/></a>
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
         <a href="glossary.cfm?ID={@id}"><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></a>
       </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

Subject:   Loss of whitespace with back to back nested tags

Greetings,

I've got a bunch of nested <term> tags within text of particular elements,
that could be linked to a glossary page.  When I have back to back terms,
such as:
<content>
	test1 <term>test2</term> <term>test3</term> test4
</content>

The output comes as test1 test2test3 test4.  I'm sure its something simple,
but cannot find the correct method.  

As always, tia.

Here's the code:
