Which XSLT processor do you use, how do you serialize the XSLT result?
I don't think there is any way to enforce a particular format, unless your XSLT processor or its serializer give you an option.

It's very unlikely that a serializer will give you options over this. Certainly there's no standard XSLT serialization option for it. This is because it's assumed that the XML is destined to be read by a conformant XML parser, and every conformant XML parser will treat the two constructs in exactly the same way. (similarly, serializers don't usually allow you to say whether you want spaces around the "=" sign in attribute="value", for exactly the same reason).

Where does this requirement come from?

Hi,

we have to give an xml out put to my client , so that he will submit this xml electronically to the govt.

The value in <megjegyzes> </megjegyzes> will be updated by him at the time of submission.

so for this he want to generate the xml with <megjegyzes> </megjegyzes>

Thanks

If you want to make it easy to insert text using a non-XML aware text editor, perhaps inserting a single space as the element value would do the trick.
