that is then being serialised by some other JDK methord rather than

being serialised by XSLT?

No other xsl:output, and all I do in the transform is this:



 SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
 spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
 SAXParser parser = spf.newSAXParser();
 reader = parser.getXMLReader();
 stf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 String s = serializeTree();
 System.out.println("DEBUG: " + s);     // <------- DEBUG

But this really has nothing to do with the transformation (other than  
being the source :) ).




 InputSource input = new InputSource(new StringReader(s));
 filter = stf.newXMLFilter(new StreamSource(stylesheet));
 filter.setParent(reader);
 StreamResult result = new StreamResult(response.getWriter());
 Transformer transformer = stf.newTransformer();
 SAXSource transformSource = new SAXSource(filter, input);
 transformer.transform(transformSource, result);

Perhaps you can simply add:



<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>



It is a performance hit, but probably not more than replaceAll

At the point where the DEBUG output is, the serialized tree is as I've

described it; the extra newlines appear in the output also as  
described.



In the meantime I have kludged up a workaround when I serialise the
tree:

 if (tagName.equals("pre")) {
   d = d.replaceAll("<br[^>]*>","\n");
 }

This works but it offends my sensibilities!



Thanks,
