>Something like ><xsl:value-of select="substring(concat($string, ' '), 1, 12))"/> Just as a challenge, I took it a little further. The following outputs the color values in this document <test> <color>red</color> <color>blue</color> <color>yellow</color> </test> at 12 characters each, right aligned: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:variable name="fieldWidth">12</xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="color"> <xsl:variable name="valueLength" select="string-length(normalize-space(.))"/> <xsl:variable name="padding" select="$fieldWidth - $valueLength"/> <xsl:text>[</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="substring(' ',1,$padding)"/> <xsl:value-of select="."/> <xsl:text>]</xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> giving this output: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> [ red] [ blue] [ yellow] I'm starting to like local variables more!
