space creeping into <td> elements

[mountainbiker]

Basically, my XSLT reads

<td><img...></td>

however, the HTML output reads

<td>
    <img...>
</td>

Now, if <xslutput> is set to indent=no, then the problem is cured. Unfortunately, I require this &quot;pretty-printing&quot; for human-readability of the beginning meta elements.

This &quot;space creeping&quot; I know is a problem of HTML; however, is there a clean/simply way to preserve the formatting actually like the first example above?

I created a template to handle the output of each TR element. Here I wrap the various parts of the line with CDATA. Sort of messy. Another way I thought would be just call a JavaScript function passing the necessary params and then document.write the table out, but it sounds like another messy way.
