Hi David,

Thanks for your explanation.

If I understood well, in my sample :
<span class="bar">text4</span>
<span class="bar">text5</span>

The 2 spans elements would not have been considered adjacent beacause the indentation "create" (or "is") a (whitespace) text node inbetween.

Actually, in my xhtml doc, spans are sometimes inline, sometimes not, and there might be spaces between them when inline.

In xhtml spaces are important, i think you all now the rules : only one space is displayed even when there are more, and a line feed also generate one space on the display screen.

So to be more generic and xhtml indentation/spaces aware, i would like such an input : text1 text2 text3 text4 text5 text6text7 text8 to be output like this : text1 text2 text3 text4 text5 text6text7 text8 

I tried the same template as you David, with : <xsl:for-each-group select="node()" group-adjacent="string(@class) or normalize-space(.)=' '"> which doesn't group anything from my sample above.

string(@class) is a string whereas normalize-space(.)=' ' is a boolean... so my test isn't good?

I'm searching for a solution, any suggestions are welcome !

what about text()[normalize-space()], i never seen such a predicate,
does the normalized-text directly ?
in your sample answer you considered two spans with the same class as adjacent if they were separated by white space.

select="node()" group-adjacent="string(@class)"

would not have considered them adjacent.

so rather than select=node() I used select="text()[normalize-space()]|* which selects just non-white text nodes and elements. In the sequence selected by that expression, the spans with the same class are adjacent as the indentation is not selected
