type Untitled1.xml
<a>
    <b>
        <c att1="X" att2="Y">Z</c>
    </b>
</a>

type Untitled1.xslt
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xslt:stylesheet xmlns:xslt="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"

        <xslt:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"
                                 method="text"
                                 encoding="UTF-16"
                                 />

        <xslt:template match="/">
                <xslt:apply-templates/>
        </xslt:template>

        <xslt:template match="a | b">

        </xslt:template>

        <xslt:template match="c">
                <xslt:value-of select="@att1"/>
                <xslt:text>&#x9;</xslt:text>
                <xslt:value-of select="@att2"/>

Hi everybody,

First of all I have to say that I'm a newbie in XSL, so please apologize 
me if I submit basic questions.
I think that my problem is very simple. I have quite complex data in a 
database and I want to export it in several formats. I want to generate 
an intermediate XML documet and apply to it different XSLT to transform 
to the specified format. Some of them are XML documents and other plain 
text with tab separated columns, my problem is related with the plain 
text formats.
I have a XML document like this

<a>
    <b>
        <c att1="X" att2="Y">Z</c>
    </b>
</a>

And I want to generate a text file like this (tab separated columns)

=== BEGIN OF THE GENERATED DOC ===
X    Y    Z
=== END OF THE GENERATED DOC  ===

But the transformation writes all the tabs and newline characters of the 
XML document, so I obtain something like this

=== BEGIN OF THE GENERATED DOC ===

   
        X    Y    Z
   

=== END OF THE GENERATED DOC  ===

How can I avoid this?

Thanks in advance,

Luis
