Dear Isabelle,
You can use also the XPath evaluation (see the XPath edit box in the toolbar). To get the normalized text from the document you can use
normalize-space(/*)
and for the number of characters in this text use
string-length(normalize-space(/*))
For understanding the problem you have with the stylesheet please post also a sample XML file together with the stylesheet that you use.
Best Regards, George
