Can?t imagine why you're writing to a temp file, but...

Did you look at normalize-space?

Quoting Vivek Shinde <Vivek.Shinde@xxxxxxx>:

> Hi,

> I am processing a XML file to generate 'text' output. Here's a sample code:
> Original XML file has
> <articledescription>
>    <p>Vivek is a <a href="http://www.sas.com/">SAS</a> employee.</p>
> </articledescription>
>
> To process this I am writing the content of <articledescription> into a
> temporary XML file using
> <redirect:write select="$xmlfile">
>
> Then I read the temp XML file and apply template by:
> <xsl:apply-templates select="document($xmlfile)" mode="proc-txt"/>
>
> While I do that all of my tags are being processed OK. But when I come
across
> <a> tag, the space between </a> and the next word appears as a first
> character on the next line. So it looks like
>
> Vivek is a SAS
> http://www.sas.com
>  employee.
>
> Since I do not have control on the space before word 'employee', I am not
> able to eliminate it. Any suggestion?

> Appreciate your help.
