[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: Whitespace between nodes
 Would you agree that, in this case, it should be: <q> <a href="...">...</a> </q> As I am outputting XHTML 1.1, my output method was set to xml - changing it to html gives: Libxslt: all output serialised (no whitespace other than text nodes), same output as indent="no" (so looks fine in browser) Saxon: works (<q><a/></q>), but indentation elsewhere follows my XSLT indentation not the HTML output Xalan: still outputs <q> incorrectly (unchanged from output="xml") Sablotron: same as Xalan - I don't have MSXML or know anything about it. Looking on msdn.microsoft.com/xml I could only find Windows versions to download. However, as far as I can see the responses to the original question have By 'source' do you mean the XML or the XSLT file? There is no white-space in the XML href attribute, nor is there any between <q> and </q> in the XSL, therefore (c) is the relevant one, yes? I thought xsl:strip-space and normalise-space() only affected text nodes like " hello ", thus neither were pertinent to my query. But other respondents to my question suggest that I have misunderstood these. I tried adding <xsl:strip-space elements="q"> to my XSLT in both xml and html output modes and all four processors were unaffected in their output in either mode. This is in line with what I had originally thought strip-space did. On 13 May 2004, at 01:50, M.

This was unintended, and I blame it entirely on lack of sleep :-) And a quick trip to Michaels Kay's reference... Where can I find this? or Dave Pawson's FAQ would have presented a dozen examples using an element and function that I had read through the FAQ but nothing I saw seemed to do what I wanted. Nor did any of my programmer-friends know. That was why I resorted to emailing this list. I did try to search for a solution prior, honest govn'r! Mailing lists tend to be very slow but very authoritative ways of finding out information, since those who can answer a question are often the top experts on the matter, but are often very busy too! I've found that when there feels like there should be a simple solution Again, apologies - it was not frustration at the respondents not giving me what I wanted, but that after a few replies came in I realised my question had been misunderstood, primarily because of lack of detail on my part (sorry!). So I responded to fill in the gaps and explain the question better. - Nick.
