and i want to get

AAAA BBB CCC DDD EEE

Both David and I gave you the answer.


i use in my xsl:

<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>

This is not in the answer that either David or I gave you.


David's suggestion of &#160; may still be applicable in addition to what is below, which is a copy of what both of us said to you independently.

I hope this helps this time around.
