[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] XML->XSL-> FO->PDF whitespace problems
 I've spent the last few hours searching the archives of this list and a few others and can't find what I'm looking for. I am using FOP 0.20.3, Xalan 2.2 to do XML->PDF transforms. I have an element that is preformatted legacy text. It's got tabs and spaces and linefeed/carriage returns. I want to output this in the PDF in the same format. Here's a sample: NAME ADDRESS CITY, STATE, ZIP BEGIN PARAGRAPH BEGIN SECOND PARAGRAPH BEGIN SUBPARAGRAPH Now the reason I'm posting to this list is that I can take a xsl:fo file and transform the text if I copy and paste it into the FO document and then run FOP on it. The PDF that is generated is formatted perfectly. But when I do the transform to FO dynamically with XSL, it removes all the carriage returns/line feeds. Here's the XSL that I'm using for the element: <xsl:template match="LegacyTextData">
<fo:block font-size="9pt"
font-family="Courier"
line-height="12pt"
text-align="left"
white-space-collapse="false">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="." />
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>I can't use linefeed-treatment property since FOP doesn't support it. but the real issue I'm having trouble with is that it appears that Xalan is stripping out the linefeeds which I thought the XSLT processor isn't supposed to do. I have also tried using xml:space="preserve" in the LegacyTextData element which did nothing, I also added the disable-output- escaping="yes" to the <xsl:value-of /> statement. any tips on what's going on would be appreciated.
