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 version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version =

<xsl:element name = "Order">
<xsl:element name ="Info">
<xsl:apply-templates mode = "Attribs" select = "/ABC/info"/>
I think here you just want to select "info", not "/ABC/info", because you are
currently processing an ABC element and you just want *its* info child, not
the set of all info children, no?
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
...
<xsl:template mode = "Attribs" match = "info">
<xsl:apply-templates mode = "stripNewline" select="text()"/>
Look at your XML. The only text node *children* of the info element
are whitespace. There are some other child nodes that are elements
and *those* have text node children. But you are not selecting any
of those.
Specifically what text from the source are you trying to insert before the
PO_NUMBER element you create?
<xsl:element name = "PO_NUMBER">
<xsl:value-of select="attr/atomicValue[../name='ponumber']"/>
</xsl:element>
...
Is there any reason why you use xsl:element instead of just
<PO_NUMBER>...</PO_NUMBER>?
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template mode = "stripNewline" match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
</xsl:template>
...
</xsl:transform>
I meant to mention, normalize-space might be overkill; if you want
to remove *just* LF chars, use translate(.,' ',''). However this
will result in other whitespace (such as spaces or tabs used for
indenting) being left intact.
