Luis,
Take a look at the <xsl:strip-space/> instruction in your favorite reference.
You probably want <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>. If this isn't sufficient
(maybe your XML has extra whitespace also mixed in with data), you can use
the string function normalize-space() to strip padding in your output.
Enjoy,
Wendell

Hi everybody,
First of all I have to say that I'm a newbie in XSL, so please apologize
me if I submit basic questions.
I think that my problem is very simple. I have quite complex data in a
database and I want to export it in several formats. I want to generate an
intermediate XML documet and apply to it different XSLT to transform to
the specified format. Some of them are XML documents and other plain text
with tab separated columns, my problem is related with the plain text formats.
I have a XML document like this
<a>
<b>
<c att1="X" att2="Y">Z</c>
</b>
</a>
And I want to generate a text file like this (tab separated columns)
=== BEGIN OF THE GENERATED DOC ===
X Y Z
=== END OF THE GENERATED DOC ===
