Include <xsl:preserve-space elements="text"/> in your XSLT. We commonly use
<xsl:strip-space> to remove unwanted space (newlines, etc.), but use
preserve space for any elements containing text that allows mixed content.
For example:
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:preserve-space elements="para title item entry"/>

>
> <x>text <x>text</x> <x>text</x> text</x> (note the space in
> the middle, between nodes)
>
> ...and some kind of simple transform like:
>
> <xsl:template match="*">
> <x>
> <xsl:apply-templates/>
> </x>
> </xsl:template>
>
> ... I end up with:
>
> <x>text <x>text</x><x>text</x> text</x>
> (space is removed)
>
> I understand why this is happening... I'm just looking for a
> way around it, if there is one. It becomes significant when
> the element nodes ultimately indicate text-range formatting, such as:
>
> <div>text <b>bold</b> <i>italics</i> text</div>
>
> ...which erroneously becomes "text bolditalics text."
>
> Thanks for any insight.
