RE: Newline problems

I made changes to apply normalize-space to text nodes as 
suggested but 
output again has no data. Do you see any obvious mistakes? 
Simplified src 
xml and xsl are as shown below:
----------------------------------------------XML------------------
<!DOCTYPE ABC [
...
]><ABC>
...
<info>
<attr>
<name>
ponumber</name>
<atomicValue>
12345</atomicValue>
</attr>
...
</info>
...
</ABC>

----------------------------------------------XSL------------------

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl = 
"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version = 
"1.0">
  <xsl:template match = "ABC">
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!DOCTYPE 
OrderProcessing&gt;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:element name = "Order">
      <xsl:element name ="Info">
        <xsl:apply-templates mode = "Attribs" select = "/ABC/info"/>
      </xsl:element>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>
  ...
  <xsl:template mode = "Attribs" match = "info">
    <xsl:apply-templates mode = "stripNewline" select="text()"/>
    <xsl:element name = "PO_NUMBER">
      <xsl:value-of select="attr/atomicValue[../name='ponumber']"/>
    </xsl:element>
  ...
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template mode = "stripNewline" match="text()">
    <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
  </xsl:template>
  ...
</xsl:transform>

Vishwajit, it sounds like you are expecting the stripNewline template
to modify the source document, actually removing the newlines from
it so that the following xsl:value-of will be able to recognize the
node you're looking for.  That approach will not work, because in XSL
you're not able to modify the source document.  (That would be a side-
effect, which you're not supposed to be able to do.)

I believe what you want to do here is

  <xsl:template mode = "Attribs" match = "info">
    <xsl:element name = "PO_NUMBER">
      <xsl:value-of 
select="attr/atomicValue[normalize-space(../name)='ponumber']"/>
    </xsl:element>
  ...
  </xsl:template>
