Re: Capture stray carriage returns?

Your question is very unclear, and you show no example.

that would match (and remove) all line ends which are necessarily part of
text nodes, and so would remove all blank lines in the source. (assuming
you do apply templates in that mode to all text nodes.)

if you have blank lines in the output you are presumably adding them from
some template you haven't shown as the above template will ensure eny line
endings in the source are not copied.
