This does not solve our problems. Here is a fragment: <programlisting role="php"> <![CDATA[ <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php echo "<p>Hello World</p>"; ?> </body> </html> ]]> </programlisting> This will effectively output a code with the leading spaces (the newlines after the programlisting tag and after the <![CDATA[ tag) present, and with the trailing newlines also present. We would not like to put the <![CDATA[ and the programlisting and the first line of the example on the same line to avoid this, for readability reasons. But we would not like to get those newlines on the output. <xsl:strip-space> is to strip whitespace-only text nodes, AFAIK, which is not the case here. normalize-space() will remove any multiple spaces, which will highly distract the formatting of the example above. So none of these are solutions. As I said, we would like to strip of the leading and trailing spaces, and nothing else. Others, using <programlisting> must have been faced the same problem, I guess... Thanks, Goba
