Hmm... I'm using Xalan 2.5.2 and when I process this template: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xslt" xalan:indent-amount="4"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:element name="foo"> <xsl:attribute name="bar"> some foo </xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> <foo> <xsl:attribute name="bar"> some foo </xsl:attribute> </foo> <xsl:element name="foo"> <xsl:attribute name="bar"> some foo </xsl:attribute> foo </xsl:element> <foo> <xsl:attribute name="bar"> some foo </xsl:attribute> foo </foo> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> I get: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <foo bar=" some foo "/> <foo bar=" some foo "/> <foo bar=" some foo "> foo </foo> <foo bar=" some foo "> foo </foo> Which seems correct. What do you get? Newlines are converted to character referenced in the <xsl:attribute> element. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#creating-attributes.

I have a template like this: <xsl:element name="foo"> <xsl:attribute name="bar"> some foo </xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> I have also tried: <foo> <xsl:attribute name="bar"> some foo </xsl:attribute> </foo> Both give the same result: <foo bar="some foo"> Which is a problem since it does not close the tag. If I try <xsl:element name="foo"> <xsl:attribute name="bar"> some foo </xsl:attribute> foo </xsl:element> or <foo> <xsl:attribute name="bar"> some foo </xsl:attribute> foo </foo> The result is a correctly closed tag: <foo bar="some foo">foo</foo> I have tried this with the same results on several varieties of MSXML, and on Xalan-1 and Xalan-2 Is there anything I can do about this that won't require post processing? --Brendan XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
