Hi, I'm new to XSL. I'm trying to get the following input: <MyStuff> <Tag1> This is just a <Tag2>normal</Tag2> line. </Tag1> <Tag1> This is the second <Tag2>normal</Tag2> line. </Tag1> </MyStuff> To be generated as the following output: Ta-Da:This is just a {1} line. Ta-Da:This is the second {1} line. I want the result to be simple "text" rather than XML or HTML. Here's my stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="text" indent="no" /> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xsl:template match="Tag2">{<xsl:number count="*"/>}</xsl:template> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="MyStuff"> <xsl:text>Ta-Da:</xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates select="Tag1"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> My output was: Ta-Da: This is just a {1} line. Ta-Da: This is the second {1} line. Which has more spaces and linefeeds than I want. The spaces in the text output was exactly the same as the spaces in the original xml file. Shouldn't "strip-space" get rid of the linefeed and spaces in the original <Tag1> node? Will normalize-space help, and how to use it in the case where I need to apply-templates? Btw, I tried this on the latest version on both Xalan and libxslt. thanx, alice XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
