Both David and I gave you the answer.
i use in my xsl:
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
This is not in the answer that either David or I gave you.
David's suggestion of   may still be applicable in addition to what is
below, which is a copy of what both of us said to you independently.
I hope this helps this time around.
