i am getting for some reasons, unwanted newlines in the output. i want to get rid of them. please help someone many thanks

These are probably due to text nodes in your source document that are being copied through, except you're not aware of them since they only contain whitespace.

If this is the case, the neatest solution is the top-level xsl:preserve-space element. Search for that in your favorite resources (or the list archives) and you'll find more info.

Mike Kay's book is good on this problem (as on just about everything), so check it out: _XSLT: A Programmer's Reference_.

Understanding what's happening here can be a bit sticky for newcomers, since it involves both knowing what the data model really is (whitespace-only text nodes are *not* stripped by default) and what the built-in templates do ... by default, they copy all text nodes through (and this includes the ones that only contain line feeds).

Good luck,
Wendell
