Definitions and usages
The element is used to define elements that remain blank.
The element is used to define the element that removes the blank space.
Note: Keeping white space is the default setting, so it is only necessary to use the .lt;xsl:strip-space-gt; element.
Note: The elements are both top-level elements (top-level element) and the elements of the .lt;xsl:strip-space-gt;

<xsl:strip-space elements="country company price year" />
<xsl:preserve-space elements="title artist" />
