additional lines between tags

[goodybytes]

I have a problem that every time I update an XML file via an in house content management system, the processed XML file contains masses of empty lines between the tags.
Each time I edit and save the file the gaps get bigger.

Anyone else had a similar problem?

Might be an XSL one.

i don't know if the following will work.

if you are using java, the jaxp api has a normalise() method that might be useful.

if you want to use XSL, you may want to try
<xsl:strip-space elements=&quot;caption content item&quot;/>

where caption, content, and item are the names of the tags that contains spaces
