Any ideas > what I can do to fix this? Without a complete example, it's we have to guess what your inputs look like, but I reconstructed the following: --------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <doc> <tight><link>mget</link></tight> <tight><link>medit</link></tight> </doc> --------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="doc"> <out> <xsl:apply-templates/> </out> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="tight"> .BR <xsl:value-of select="." /><xsl:text/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="position() != last()">, </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="position() = last()">. </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> --------------------------------- Using Xalan-C++, I get the following output: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <out> .BR mget, .BR medit, </out> The output from Saxon and MSXSL is pretty the same. If I use the following input document: <?xml version="1.0"?> <doc><tight><link>mget</link></tight><tight><link>medit</link></tight></doc> I get: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <out> .BR mget, .BR medit. </out> If you're expecting the latter, you need to change your source document, or use the xsl:strip-space instruction to strip whitespace from the appropriate elements. It's likely you've found a bug in Xalan, if it is producing what you say it is. What version of Xalan are you using? Dave XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
