Using xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" in your stylesheet helps if you want to create result elements in that namespace. It does not help to select or match elements in that namespace.

Thats really good to know!

How can i avoid line breaks like this one at pmid text ??

Code:

<documentation>
<name>litReference</name>
<text>Reference to literature</text>
</documentation>
<documentation>
<name>pmid</name>
<text>
The PubMed identifier (http://www.pubmed.com) of an article
</text>
</documentation>

i tried:
replace(text(),'\s','')
replace(text(),'\n','')
normalice-space(text())
string(text())

okay problem is just the program i open it with, in real there are no whitespaces at all..
the output file is in one line

Consider to start a new thread for a new question.

As for your question, if you have <xsl:template match="documentation"> meaning a 'documentation' element is your context element then <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(text)"/> will output the normalized string value of the 'text' child element. That way any leading and trailing whitespace will be removed and any whitespace in between will be condensed to a single space.
