getting ride of empty lines after deleting nodes using XSLT

I am using XSLT to make a very simple transformation in a XML document. I just want to delete all the element nodes with a particular name.It happens that in my source document all these nodes are located at the end of the document, but after the transformation, although the nodes have disappeared as I intended, there are lots of empty lines in their place.This is strictly a cosmetic issue since I accomplished what I wanted with the transformation, but out of curiosity: how can I get rid of these empty lines ?This is the XSL file I used for the transformation (the element I wanted to remove is named "relations"): \[code\]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" /> <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*" /> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="relation"/></xsl:stylesheet>\[/code\]
