RE: Difference between <when>x</when> and <when><text

Markus,

if yo want to remove the spaces for all <when> and <otherwise> entries you
can
do this by having the complete <choose> inside a <xsl:variable> and then
call
normalize-space() once afterwards:

<xsl:variable name="v">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="sometest1">
      x1
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="sometest2">
      x2
    </xsl:when>
    ...
    <xsl:when test="sometestn">
      xn
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise test="sometest">
      x
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($v)"/>
