Hi All, This is a very common problem in handling document XML with significant amounts of mixed content, especially with nested subelements. It's made unnecessarily harder by the dropping of white-space-only nodes (we should have paid more attention to this at the time). Michael has explained the dropping of insignificant white-space. I don't need that because I'm typically outputting to LaTeX which does that by itself, but I do need the reverse: to reinsert the deleted white-space-only nodes which fall between subelements, eg ...use <tag>foo</tag>, <emph>never</emph> <tag>bar</tag>... To avoid this, in the template for each element which may occur in mixed content, you could first call a short named template which tests if the immediately-preceding node has a name which is not 'text', and in that case, insert a single space character.
