RE: Newline problems

It's hard to tell, without seeing the part of your stylesheet that deals
with <attr>.
Where is it that you're expecting output but not getting it?

It looks like the <ABC> element should match the first (partial) template
you showed from your stylesheet, unless your XML source uses namespaces
that you haven't mentioned; and therefore should output a <!DOCTYPE ...>
declaration.  (By the way, have you considered using
<xsl:output doctype-public="..." doctype-system="..." /> ?)

I am using xalan for xml to xml transformation. Input xml string
has some DOS carriage return and/or line feeds introduced by 
the source
application. The source xml string that I was trying to 
transform is like 
(exactly as is, including newlines)

<!DOCTYPE ABC [
...
]><ABC>
...
<attr>
value</attr>
...
</ABC>

i.e. the newline was probably getting included in the value 
of the element 
"attr". Would such newlines yield the empty output xml I was getting? 
Xsl-strip space did not help. Finally, I had to write java 
code to strip the 
newlines from the source xml and then I started getting output xml 
correctly.

Our xsl is like

<?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:template mode = "Attribs" match = "ctrInfo">
            <xsl:element name="ADDR">
              <xsl:value-of 
select="attribute/atomicValue[../name='ADDR']"/>
            </xsl:element>


Please help...
