Hi
I am trying to get rid of 
 in an attribute
T58=" tt "
I have tried
<xsl:strip-space elements="comments"/>
strip-space has no effect on whitespace characters that are part of the same
node as non-whitespace characters. You haven't shown your source.
and I am generating this attribute as
<xsl:attribute name="T58"><xsl:value-of select="$dnode/comments"
disable-output-escaping="yes"/></xsl:attribute>
disable-output-escaping is not allowed on xsl:attribute (there have been
drafts of XSLT 2.0 that allowed it, but no longer)
the $dnode is a variable set to the entity that contains
a comments element.
I don't understand. Entities are not part of the XPath data model, you can't
set a variable to an entity.
I am not sure why I still get these characters.
So far, you haven't done anything that would remove them.
Other attempts (that do not work):
<xsl:attribute name="T58"><xsl:value-of
select="translate("$dnode/comments",'
','')" /></xsl:attribute>
This should work.
Working version:
<xsl:variable name="comment"><xsl:value-of
select="$dnode/comments"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:attribute name="T58"><xsl:value-of
select="translate($comment,'
','')" disable-output-escaping="yes"
/></xsl:attribute>
I would appreciate why the working-version works.
No idea. There's some information missing.
