eliminate white spaces in XSL

[elayildizer]

Hi to all;

does anybody know how I can eliminate white spaces. For example;

For example in original xml document,there exists

<doc name="ela yil eliminate white spaces">

and I want to change it using XSL to

<doc name="elayileliminatewhitespaces">

Thanks

Maybe with a template like this:

	<xsl:template name="removeSpaces">
		<xsl:param name="text"/>
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="contains($text, ' ')">
				<xsl:variable name="bufferBefore" select="substring-before($text, ' ')"/>
				<xsl:variable name="newBuffer" select="substring-after($text, ' ')"/>
				<xsl:value-of select="$bufferBefore"/>
				<xsl:call-template name="removeSpaces">
					<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$newBuffer"/>
				</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>

hi;
this is the solution. This code eliminates the white spaces of the name attribute of a tag at the place the template called.

CODE:

<xsl:template name="ELIMINATE_WHITE">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:variable name="var" select="translate(@name,' ','')"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

PS: I make use of the Jon's code in thread 'White Spaces in XSL' marked by me.

Cheers...
