Nicholas, if you draw a blank on your error reports, i.e., if you *have* to remove the whitespace yourself, consider the following three options: 1. The FAQ entry: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N8321.html#d11899e830 2. One of the two solutions below, which is rather straightforward, the second admittedly being a bit obfuscated while trying to minimize the code 3. XSLT 2 (convince your bosses to upgrade): replace($text, '\s*([^\s]+)\s*', '$1') <!-- solution ONE, easy to read, but a bit verbose -->
<xsl:template name="strip-ws">
<xsl:param name="text" /><xsl:variable name="end" select="substring($text, string-length($text))" /> <xsl:variable name="start" select="substring($text, 1, 1)" /> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="normalize-space($start) = ''"> <xsl:call-template name="strip-ws"> <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring($text, 2)" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="normalize-space($start) = ''"> <xsl:call-template name="strip-ws"> <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring($text, 1, string-length($text) - 1)" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$text"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> <!-- solution TWO, less verbose, uses booleans as count, less verbose, but harder to read --> <xsl:template name="strip-ws"> <xsl:param name="text" /> <xsl:variable name="test-start" select="normalize-space(substring($text, 1, 1)) = ''" /> <xsl:variable name="test-end" select="normalize-space(substring($text, string-length($text))) = ''" /> <xsl:if test="$test-start or $test-end"> <xsl:call-template name="strip-ws"> <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring($text, $test-start + 1, string-length($text) - $test-end)" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="not($test-start or $test-end)"> <xsl:value-of select="$text"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:template>
