but ignoring indent=no sounds less likely, are you sure you don't have

that is then being serialised by some other JDK methord rather than
being serialised by XSLT?

No other xsl:output, and all I do in the transform is this:


 SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
 spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
 SAXParser parser = spf.newSAXParser();
 reader = parser.getXMLReader();
 stf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 String s = serializeTree();
 System.out.println("DEBUG: " + s);     // <------- DEBUG

But this really has nothing to do with the transformation (other than being the source :) ).



InputSource input = new InputSource(new StringReader(s)); filter = stf.newXMLFilter(new StreamSource(stylesheet)); filter.setParent(reader); StreamResult result = new StreamResult(response.getWriter()); Transformer transformer = stf.newTransformer(); SAXSource transformSource = new SAXSource(filter, input); transformer.transform(transformSource, result);

Perhaps you can simply add:


<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

It is a performance hit, but probably not more than replaceAll

best,

At the point where the DEBUG output is, the serialized tree is as I've
described it; the extra newlines appear in the output also as described.


In the meantime I have kludged up a workaround when I serialise the
tree:

 if (tagName.equals("pre")) {
   d = d.replaceAll("<br[^>]*>","\n");
 }

This works but it offends my sensibilities!

Thanks,
