I can only assume that the SPAN "elements" were there in your source
data, which you haven't shown us.
I say "elements" in quotes because they aren't really elements, they are
just text containing angle brackets which makes them look like elements.

Subject: [xsl] unwelcome SPAN in text output
I've been trying to prepare a tab-and-newline-delimited load
file for mysql, and am finding my output file cluttered with
unwanted <SPAN> elements! It looks to me like I am in a
twilight zone between text & HTML.
E.g., instead of
usfr-gc_GeneralConcepts en "US GAAP - Commercial
and Industrial"
int-ar_AccountantsReport en "Accountants Report"
I get the following, which BTW looks ok on the screen:
<SPAN S_='02493EA0 12'>usfr-gc_GeneralConcepts</SPAN><SPAN
S_='02493EA0
13'> </SPAN><SPAN S_='02493EA0 14'>en</SPAN><SPAN S_='02493EA0
15'> </SPAN><SPAN S_='02493EA0 16'>"</SPAN><SPAN
S_='02493EA0 17'>US GAAP -
Commercial and Industrial</SPAN>
This happens regardless of whether I use Saxon (6.5.2) or the
processor native to Stylus Studio, but not using MSXML3.0.
My code runs as follows...
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:taxo="urn:taxonomy-analysis:xslt"
xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
>
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="taxo:all/taxo:itemTable/taxo:item/taxo:label"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="taxo:label">
<xsl:variable name="ID"
select="parent::taxo:item/@taxo:name"/>
<!--emit ID,language,label tuple-->
<xsl:value-of select="$ID"/>
<xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@xml:lang"/>
<xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks for your attention,
Arthur Allen
