Adam,
<xsl:template match="br"> <!-- 1st, retrieve the block ancestor you're worried about --> <xsl:variable name="containing-block" select="(ancestor::p|ancestor::li|ancestor::blockquote)[last()]"/> <!-- (you'll have to extend that list to include all the possible blocks) --> <!-- now, figure out what text nodes are actually following inside the block --> <xsl:variable name="text-following"> <xsl:for-each select="$containing-block//text()[.=current()/following::text()"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:for-each> <!-- now, include the br if there's anything there besides white space --> <xsl:if test="normalize-space($text-following)"> <xsl:copy-of/> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> (untested) It's slow and painful, but then those <br> elements are painful too. What do you think? I'd like to see a slick solution, too....
