xsl concat whitespace

I'm somewhat curious why no-one has made the following observation in this discussion.
Is it irrelevant?


Technically, there is whitespace between the basename and the relative file name
in the source for


<xsl:variable name="filename">
<xsl:value-of select="'../content/news/'" />
<xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</xsl:variable>

Such white space - if it were not removed , might explain why the file name got truncated when used for file lookup.

The concat(...) solution, definitely removed the white space.

Dear list,

concatenate the @name attribute of the current node the <xsl:foreach> iterator is
visiting with a directory name prefix. I try to do this like that:

<xsl:variable name="filename">
<xsl:value-of select="'../content/news/'" />
<xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</xsl:variable>
