RE: xml nodes with spaces (at start, end, or just spac

You have escaped the text inside of your Text element so that the XML parser will treat it like text, therefore there are no <inserted> or <deleted> elements, only a block of text.

Why are you escaping the contents of the <Text> element?

Also, your output is not what I would expect. I would expect to see the "&lt;inserted&gt" make it into the output. Can you show a complete template that outputs as you have described?

Subject:  xml nodes with spaces (at start, end, or just spaces) not
showing correctly with xsl


Hi,
I am trying to display xml that has formatting and also has a form of
'track changes' in a browser using xsl.
The 'track changes' is implemented by using <inserted> and <deleted>
tags to identify changes (these are escaped with &lt; &gt; etc. in the
XML).
I want to display the latest version of the content so I show insertions
and do not show deletions.

Sample XML (snippet):
<Text>The&lt;inserted&gt; &lt;/inserted&gt;quick&lt;deleted&gt;
&lt;/deleted&gt; brown fox&lt;inserted&gt;
&lt;/inserted&gt;jumped&lt;inserted&gt; &lt;/inserted&gt;over the
lazy&lt;deleted&gt; &lt;/deleted&gt; dog.</Text>



....which without the escaping becomes: 
<Text>The<inserted> </inserted>quick<deleted> </deleted> brown
fox<inserted> </inserted>jumped<inserted> </inserted>over the
lazy<deleted> </deleted> dog.</Text>



So I am trying to get this to show as "The quick brown fox jumped over
the lazy dog."

Sample XSL 1 (snippet):
<xsl:template match="deleted"/>
 <xsl:template match="inserted">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="br">
   <br/>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="i">
  <i>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </i>
 </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="b">
 <b>
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </b>
 </xsl:template>



Sample XML 2 (snippet):
<xsl:template match="deleted"/>
   <xsl:template match="inserted">
   <xsl:copy-of-select='.'/>
 </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="br">
   <br/>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="i">
  <i>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </i>
 </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="b">
 <b>
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </b>
 </xsl:template>


I have tried both of these solutions and neither work. I need to be able
to have formatting inside the insertions - hence the attempt to use
<xsl:apply-templates/>.
The output I am getting is "Thequick brown foxjumpedover the lazy dog."
- as though the spaces were never inserted.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Andy
