Doesn't look like umbraco.library has what you need, so you're probably going to need to write your own xslt extension to replace line breaks using RegEx.Replace. Pretty straightforward and a useful thing to have set up when you need other functions like this.

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Umbraco/Create_xslt_exstension_like_umbraco.Library_in_C

You'll either need to use some of the exslt extension methods (such as regex, but there may be others in there) or build your own extension (or use incline c#).

Or... and this would be quick and sneaky if it works...

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>

Notice the indent="no" element. Give that a shot and see what happens first.

Did you also try 

<xsl:variable name="cleanAddress" select="umbraco.library:Replace($Address, '&#xA;', '')"/>

Thanks guys, I went with a quick C# solution in the end.

Didn't get to try another solution but will try then when I get a sec and report back.

Thanks again.

Hi Rich

Glad you found a solution. But I actually think that you can maybe use the XSLT function normalize-space() to solve this. I had an issue a few days ago where I needed to fetch some rich text data from umbraco inside a javascript. The script kept choking when it received the data because of line breaks in the HTML.

I solved it using the above mentioned function. So you could try writing this:

<xsl:variable name="Address" select="normalize-space(umbraco.library:ReplaceLineBreaks($currentPage/data [@alias = 'contactAddress']))"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$Address" />

So if the stuff you are doing now does not work then try it out :-)

Jan,

Your solution worked well for me - I was taking data from the rich text editor so did not need the ReplaceLineBreaks call.

Thanks
