Re: spacing issue

I have turned indent="yes" to "no", added strip-space elements="*",
played with the output method.. I've got it close but still have a
space in the brakets due to a carriage return I just cannot get rid
of:

<p class="para">(
       <insert><span class="insert">t.1</span></insert>)&nbsp;
       <insert><span class="insert">granting authorization to members
to provide accounting services to the public through limited liability
partnerships;</span></insert>
</p>

I realize that <insert> is not a html tag, however we use it as a
indexing field for our search engine. So am I correct in assuming that
there is no way to tell Saxon that all tags and text between the ()'s
must be on one line?
