[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: How to avoid a blank line
 A simple solution to this might be to apply normalize-space() to your text nodes: though that will also lose some newlines that you want to keep. But in HTML newlines are equivalent to spaces. But you can use David Carlisle's solution if you want more control over the appearance in a text editor. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ PS: if you have an earlier question that wasn't answered, it's probably a good idea to take another look at it and ask yourself why. Probably the question wasn't clear to people, perhaps it was too long, perhaps it was too short. Most people only answer questions if they can understand the question from a very quick reading. If it's an interesting and worthwhile question they may spend a lot of time answering it, but they won't spend a lot of time trying to understand it. And if you need to refer to it later, include a hyperlink to the archives. > -----Original Message----- > From: Manfred Staudinger [mailto:manfred.staudinger@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 21 October 2005 14:22 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: How to avoid a blank line > > > Are you generating HTML?
