Re: unwanted white space in HTML

Enclose the text within <xsl:text> ...</xsl:text>:

<xsl:text>This question has: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@answer-count"/>
<xsl:text> correct answer</xsl:text>
<xsl:if test="@answer-count &gt; 1">
    <xsl:text>s</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
