Re: White space - preserving white space within elemen

Hi Brand,

<xsl:preseve-space elements = "*"/> only applies to whitespace-only nodes.
therefore, it shall not affect your <example> element above.

The default behaviour, and i stand to be corrected on this, is to preserve
leading 
and trailing whitespaces in a node also containing text. these spaces can
be removed 
using the normalize-space() function. i ran a quick check on some xml with
MSXML3 and 
the leading and trailing whitespaces are preserved.

i hope this helps. if not, could you post some code?

Conor.
