Hi All,

 I need to remove trailing space for all the elements. Any help
appreciated.

Input:

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <Toc>
 <a> Say you want display this <emph type="b"> data</emph> in the form of a
 sequentially numbered booklist.</a>
 </Toc>

Expected Output:

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<Toc>
<a>Say you want display this <emph type="b">data</emph> in the form of a
sequentially numbered booklist.</a>
</Toc>

Tried Coding:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="*|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="normalize-space(*)"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

For the above style sheet I'm getting error "apply-templates expected
node()" and I'm using saxon version 8.

Thanks in advance,
Balaji. M
