You haven't shown the source document, but I think the most likely explanation is that your stylesheet is copying whitespace from the source document to the result. You can prevent this by using <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>. The difference with XML Spy is probably because the Microsoft XML parser (incorrectly, in my view) strips whitespace by default.

I've done the modification but it changes nothing. The file generated seem to be indented. This is the source document : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ListOfPKT> <PKT> <DesCliBlNbr>5</DesCliBlNbr> <DateRecepEDI>20060717</DateRecepEDI> <ManagingTerritory>LIF</ManagingTerritory> <ShipToCnty>101720</ShipToCnty> </PKT> <PKT> <DesCliBlNbr>4</DesCliBlNbr> <DateRecepEDI>20060717</DateRecepEDI> <ManagingTerritory>TID</ManagingTerritory> <ShipToCnty>85000</ShipToCnty> </PKT> </ListOfPKT>

I can't see anything in this code that accounts for the extra whitespace. Perhaps the problem is in the part of the code that you haven't shown. It would help to post a complete source document and stylesheet, so that I can run it and debug it myself. Ideally this should be cut down to the minumum code that demonstrates the problem. I do have a few comments about your XSLT coding. (1) <xsl:template match="/ListOfPKT/PKT"> would be better written as match="PKT". There's no reason to add the extra tests on the parent and grandparent of the PKT element, if they will always be satisfied. (2) <xsl:variable name="cpt"> <xsl:number count="//PKT"/> </xsl:variable> seems to be a rather complicated way of saying <xsl:variable name="cpt" select="position()"/> But I don't think you need this variable at all, as you are only using it to retrieve the current node - if you need to remember the current node, put the node in a variable, rather than its position. (3) <xsl:if test="/ListOfPKT/PKT[position()=$cpt]/ManagingTerritory/.='TID' or /ListOfPKT/PKT[position()=$cpt]/ManagingTerritory/.='LIF' or /ListOfPKT/PKT[position()=$cpt]/ManagingTerritory/.='LIV'"> seems to be a rather complicated way of saying <xsl:if test="ManagingTerritory=('TID', 'LIF', 'LIV')"> (4) <xsl:with-param name="cptPara"> <xsl:value-of select="$cpt"/> </xsl:with-param> is much less efficient than <xsl:with-param name="cptPara" select="$cpt"/> because it constructs a result tree fragment rather than simply passing an integer (and because it's 3 lines of code instead of 1) But in fact, rather than pass the integer, you should be passing the node. The integer is used in this expression to select a node: select="/ListOfPKT/PKT[position()=$cptPara]"/> But that's the context node, so you don't need to pass it as an explicit parameter at all, you can just refer to it in the called template as ".".

You can stop to search. I find the reason of the problem. It comes from the comments line just before the Text. I've dropped them and all is ok. Thank you for your remarks, i've modified my code and it's more simple.

Glad you solved it. There's a subtle rule here which I overlooked when reading your first code sample: comments are stripped from a stylesheet before stripping whitespace text nodes. So <s> <!--comment-->01<!--comment--> </s> after stripping comments becomes <s> 01 </s> and the whitespace characters become part of the text node containing the text "01", so they are output. It's always a good idea, when you care about formatting, to put literal text in the stylesheet within an <xsl:text> element to prevent this kind of problem.
