xsl strip spaces

You should try the XSL normalize-space() function. It will strip any leading and trailing spaces, and convert consecutive occurrences of space, tab, carriage-return, or newline characters into a single space character.

So an element like this:

<root>
Hark! Hark!   	The Lark

At Heaven's gate doth sing!


</root>

When processed with a template like this:

<xsl:template match="root">
  <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)" />
</xsl:template>


Will yield output like this:

Hark! Hark! The Lark At Heaven's gate doth sing!
