Hi,
When Adobe FrameMaker saves documents as XML files, it seems to break lines at a defined width. For example: <p>This sample text node illustrates how FrameMaker introduces line breaks at pre-defined widths. If this were a real piece of content, it would contain interesting or useful information. However it's just an example paragraph. I'll add one more line here for good measure, and will then simply quit.</p> I'd like to remove all line breaks using XSLT 1.0, if possible. The resulting XML would look like the following: <p>This sample text node illustrates how FrameMaker introduces line breaks at pre-defined widths. If this were a real piece of content, it would contain interesting or useful information. However it's just an example paragraph. I'll add one more line here for good measure, and will then simply quit.</p> I've tried several normalizing templates from Dave Pawson's site (http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/normalise.html), such as the following: <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:param name="indent" select="'
'"/> <xsl:value-of select="$indent"/> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:with-param name="indent" select="concat($indent, $indent-increment)"/> </xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:if test="*"> <xsl:value-of select="$indent"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="comment()|processing-instruction()"> <xsl:copy/> </xsl:template> - and - <xsl:template match="text()[normalize-space(.)='']"/> I've also tried removing the line breaks using XMLTidy, without success. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Mark Peters Senior Technical Writer Saba Software
