How do you check wether there is a textnode allready? I am not very good at figuring things out at the moment, sorry.

I am in the situation where I have lots of different kinds of parrent nodes before the <code1> node, so I can't use the <xsl:perseve-space="code"/> unless I wish to write this line sixty times with different elements.

I need the program to add a space if there is a new node right after, only if there is a space between them: (I): <One>bla</One> <Two>bla</Two> should keep the space, but (II): <One>bla</One><Two>bla</Two> should not, and (III): <One>bla</One>more bla<Two>bla</Two> should not either. With my approach, I get a space in the last two examples, and I suspect that even if I get your code to work (by checking wether there is already a text, which I would like to be able to do), then (II) would still get a space inserted - am I wrong in this?

More help for this newbie is clearly needed...
