[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Why processor or stylesheets puts strange output
 Thanks Tom
It seems only you are there to answer my questions.
thanks for your response and patience.
I tried that but it is not working .
i think it is due to processor (SABLOTRON) WHICH I AM USING .
I FOUND THIS PARAGRAPH IN THE DOCUMENTATION OF SABLOTRON ON Ginger
Alliance site.
5.10 Whitespace stripping
strip-space, preserve-space
Only the default whitespace stripping is done. That is, all
whitespace-only text nodes in any stylesheet, not appearing inside a
xsl:text, are removed. The two instructions for whitespace stripping
and preservation are unsupported.
so i think using <xsl:strip-space="body"/> or even
<xsl:strip-space="*"/>
is not going to make any effect .
with this stylesheet the output i got is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="body"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<wml>
<card title="output">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</card>
</wml>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="head"/>
<xsl:template match="body">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p/div | div/div | center/div | font/div">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="div">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="font/p | center/p | div/p | p/p">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p/font | center/font | div/font | font/font">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="font">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="br[preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::br]]" />
<xsl:template match="body/br" />
<xsl:template match="br">
<br />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="body/text()">
<p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
output
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC '-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML
1.2//EN'
'http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.2.xml'><wml><card title="output">
<p>
</p><p>This is for br tag</p><p>
</p><p>The stylesheet is doing some mischief</p><p>
</p><p>WHAT IS THE REASON ?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>Is it not the proper syntax for matching<br/>
tag.</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
it is the text which has body parent
</p>
</card></wml>
it has no <p/> but still so many <p> and </p> so i think i should stick
to the previous one as it was giving the better output.
and it is very rarely happens that you find text inside body .
normally text had atleast some tag as parent.
what do you say?
