Try wrapping the significant text in xsl:text element. Whitespace-only text nodes are stripped from the tree built from the stylesheet, so when whitespace that you added to the stylesheet for readability isn't mixed with printing characters, the whitespace doesn't appear in your output. <xsl:template match="HEADER"> <xsl:text>idr=</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="ID"/><xsl:text>|</xsl:text> <xsl:text>buyer=</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="BID"/><xsl:text>|</xsl:text> </xsl:template> If you need linebreaks, you can put them (or their numeric character references) inside the xsl:text elements: <xsl:template match="HEADER"> <xsl:text>idr=</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="ID"/><xsl:text>| </xsl:text> <xsl:text>buyer=</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="BID"/><xsl:text>|&#A;</xsl:text> </xsl:template> Regards, Tony Graham ====================================================================== Tony Graham mailto:tgraham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9632 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ====================================================================== XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
