space was stripping

Hi Team,

I was using XSL for browser viewing purpose.

I wrote the XSL simply input tag to output tag:

	<xsl:template match="legis-cite">
	<span style="background-color: #99FF99; font-size:17;
color:Black;"><xsl:apply-templates/></span>
	</xsl:template>

XML file
	<p>Teating <legis-cite>legis content1</legis-cite> <legis-cite>legis
content2</legis-cite></p>

Actual Output
	<p>Teating <span style="background-color: #99FF99; font-size:17;
color:Black;">legis content1</span><span style="background-color: #99FF99;
font-size:17; color:Black;">legis content2</span></p>

Space was removed between the "legis content1" & "legis content2"

How can I correct this issue, in my expectation output do remove the space,
when same continue in the inline text

Thanks,
Selva
