Alan HarbaughSubject: Stylus adds whitespace where Xalan does not
Author: Alan Harbaugh

Hi,
Our stylesheets use the simplified stylesheet design pattern (Literal Result Element As Stylesheet.104).

In our stylesheet, we have graphics aligned using tables, like this:

<TD vAlign="bottom">
<img height="12" alt="" width="12" src="minitb_roundbottom.gif"/></TD>

Note that the close TD (</TD>) is on the same line as the image in order to prevent a newline whitespace from being added to the cell. Whent the stylesheet is processed by Xalan, this structure is preserved.

When Stylus processes the stylesheet it is
rendered like this:

<TD vAlign="bottom">
<img height="12" alt="" width="12" src="roundbottom.gif">
<TD>

Which adds the extra space, causing all kinds of grief.

So I guess the question is.. who is rendering correctly according to the W3C standard? If Stylus is rendering correctly,
then how can I force it to preserve the stylesheet whitespace/formatting?

For the time being we are committed to using Xalan in production, so we need an editor that either uses Xalan (preferable) or conforms to the same standard that Xalan supposedly conforms to.

Thanks in advance!

Try adding to your stylesheet the following line:

<xsl:output method="html" indent="no"/>
