They can always be translated into something like: <xsl:text/>string<value-of select="XPath"/> or <xsl:text>string</xsl:text> <value-of select="XPath"/> that in find more readable. Whitespace handling in XSL/XML is a tricky issue. What I keep I mind when composing a stylesheet are the following rules: 1 - whitespace only nodes in the stylesheet are ignored 2 - any text node in the stylesheet that contains non-whitespace text is output literally 3 - use <xsl:text/> as a separator to put undesirable leading and trailing whitespaces in nodes of their own so that they are ignored 4 - when some leading/trailing whitespace is needed, use <xsl:text> with some content In this case the attribute element in the stylesheet would become: <xsl:attribute name="href"> <xsl:text/>http://<xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:attribute> -- David -- XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
