Try
<xsl:strip-space elements="list-of-element-names"/>
The <xsl:strip-space> element is used to define the elements for which white
space should be removed. * will do all i think

Subject: [xsl] getting crlf's, but putting only lf's (i think)
hi, i get crlf's in my transformed output when using the following (see
below). i am trying to convert an xml file into a csv file. all is well
except that xalan-j_2_5_1 is putting crlf's into the output stream
(doesn't
matter whether it's a writer or a byte output stream). is there any way to
get rid of the carriage return?
any pointers will be appreciated.
thanks
