You can use:
<template match="text()"> to match the all text nodes then use the
normalize space inside it.

I need to remove the extra spaces that sometimes occur before the
end-tags.
I've been messing around with the identity template, and can get
that to copy my XML intact.
The following trims the spaces before the end-tags nicely.
<xsl:template match="Company/Title">
<xsl:copy><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Company/Author">
<xsl:copy><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
But what I'm wondering is if there's a way to use the identity
template to copy the whole tree, but still somehow use normalize-
space to remove the spaces. This would enable me to not have to
match each element of the tree individually (there are a lot of
possible elements).
I can't quite get me head around this one. Any pointers in the right
direction are appreciated.
BTW, I'm stuck having to use XSL 1.0 for this project.
