Yes I am using XSLT2 (albeit very poorly understood). Will try your
suggestion.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [xsl] Eliminating leading zeros
any chance you are using xslt2? in which case
select="replace(.,'^ *0*','')
would remove any leading spaces or zeros.
otherwise something tiresome like
<xsl:variable name="x" select="normalize-space(.)"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($x,' ')">
<xsl:variable name="n" select="substring-before($x,' ')"/>
<xsl:variable name="t" select="substring-after($x,' ')"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="number($n)=number($n)">
<xsl:value-of select="number($n)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$n"/>
</>
</>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$t"/>
</>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="number($x)=number($x)">
