Hi Roger, I can't really comment on why java might not like CR LF line endings, but I have some suggestions on how to remove them. If you are performing the transform and compiling the result as part of say a batch process, you could add an intermediary step where a java class accepts a stream of characters and writes everything back out unless it's a CR. Alternatively, if you don't intend on reading the java produced from the transform, you could add the template: <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/> </xsl:template> ...which will give you one long line with no line breaks at all. If you aren't already, you may want to subscribe to the xsl-list http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/ you will find more like minded people there, especially a few mathml'ers. I would suggest you post what you are doing, not only to get non-xalan specific xslt help, but just to air your ideas. cheers andrew
