Message: [QUOTE="Patrick TJ McPhee, post: 771018"] [...] % So I have many unwanted carriage returns/whitspaces. (it follows the % indentation of my .XSL...) % I googled around and saw <xsl:text> ? This is what you want to use. If you have non-whitespace text in a template, then all the text in the template, including all the white space, gets copied to the result tree. If you wrap all your non-whitespace text in xsl:text elements, then only the text in the xsl:text elements, along with text generated by other xsl elements, will be copied. % Didn't work 'cause my XML file has unsupported char. I expect you put one of your value-ofs inside a text element. This works the way you want it to: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="[URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform[/URL]" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="text"/> <xsl:template name="haut" match="/rhythmdb"> <xsl:text>#!/bin/bash cd /pub/html/zicmu2/links </xsl:text> <xsl:for-each select="entry"> <xsl:sort select="location"/> <xsl:text>ln -s "</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(location,'file://')"/> <xsl:text>" "</xsl:text> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="starts-with(location,'file:///pub/joe/misc')"> <xsl:value-of select="substring(location, 22)"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="substring(location, 19)"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <xsl:text>" </xsl:text> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> [/QUOTE]
