Stephen DalySubject: removing formating from XML
Author: Stephen Daly
Date: 30 Jan 2007 11:25 AM
I want to strip off all formatting from my xml, included spaces, e.g.
Turn this:
<A>
<A1>Some Text</A1>
<A1>More Text</A1>
</A>
into this:
<A><A1>Some Text</A1><A1>More Text</A1></A>

When I use a xsl:copy-of select="A", the output has cr/lf removed but not spaces.

What is a good way to do this? I saw in the stylus studio online docs that xsl:strip-space is not supported? Would this ordinarily do what I want?

Hi Stephen,
the easiest way is to use xsl:strip-space; you can select a different XSL processor, like Saxon, to run such a stylesheet.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi Anthony, and if I'm using StylusXslt.exe? I guess this has no way to select the parser? What parser does it use?

Hi Stephen,
in this case you will have to manually simulate it.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="A"><A><xsl:copy-of select="*"/></A></xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

In short, create a template that matches the elements that you want stripped and fill it with a new copy of the same element, plus a copy of only the sub-elements (if the A element can have non-whitespace nodes, you will have to replace the copy-of with a for-each that tests each of the child nodes, however).

Alberto

Hi Anthony.

Do you mean to say that since I'm using StylusXslt and it does not support xsl:strip-space, I can selectively copy the elements explicitly as a work-around?

Yes, that's what I meant.
