I am still not clear why this is called implicitly with {} but I need to call explicitly string-joing before normalize-space. > not on input, but on output, you can have templates such as > > <xsl:template match="@*"> > <xsl:attribute name="name()" select="normalize-space(.)"/> > </xsl:template> I replaced it with: <xsl:template match="@*"> <xsl:attribute name="{name()}" select="normalize-space(.)"/> </xsl:template> See: http://gdcm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gdcm/Sandbox/oo2.xsl?r1=1144&r2=1145 > which will make the default templates on attributes and text normalize > space. Running the xsl code still leave whitespace at end/beginning of my output strings: http://gdcm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gdcm/trunk/Source/InformationObjectDefinition/ModuleAttributes.xml Am I missing something ? I'd like to avoid duplicating the string-join + normalize-space all over my xsl code. Thanks a bunch, -- Mathieu
