Subject:Stripping out extra space around an italic word Author:Simone S Date:21 Apr 2006 04:44 AM
This is my XML file
===================
<list list-type="number">
<list-item>
<label>1. </label><p>They used tall pieces of wood so that the <emphasis type="italic">fence</emphasis> would keep the dog in the garden.</p>
<p>Becky used a <emphasis type="italic">blas</emphasis> (<emphasis type="italic">cake</emphasis>) to dig a hole in the ground.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item>
<label>2. </label><p>James laughed because the <emphasis type="italic">fork</emphasis> (<emphasis type="italic">gler</emphasis>) looked so funny.</p>
</list-item>
This is XSL coding
==================
<xsl:template match="list[@list-type='simple' or @list-type='bullet' or @list-type='number']/list-item">
<table><tr><td valign="top" width="5"><xsl:value-of select="label"/><text>  </text></td>
<td><p align="justify"><xsl:apply-templates/></p></td></tr></table>
</xsl:template>
This is my output currently

1. They used tall pieces of wood so that the fence would keep the dog in the garden. Becky used a blas
( cake ) to dig a hole in the ground.
2. James laughed because the fork ( gler ) looked so funny.
Can anyone please help me to take out the extra space around the words "( cake )" and "( gler )"
