Hello friends, I maybe tasked with XSL-transforming some XML into a publishable version, but I shuddered as soon as I saw the input (coming from a custom-built Web CMS). It is something like the following with significant line feeds in attribute values: <items> <item name="address" data=" Company Name Street Address ZIP City Country " /> </items> I have seen and dealt with line feeds in element content, but this time an alarm clock rang in my head. Am I right in my interpretation of the XML standard that attribute content must be normalized by a conforming XML parser and therefore it would never be possible to write an XSL to locate line feeds in attribute values? http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#AVNormalize This would give me a strong and invincible reason to tell the CMS programmers to change their stuff. - Michael -- _______________________________________________________________ Michael M|ller-Hillebrand: Dokumentations-Technologie Adobe Certified Expert, FrameMaker Lvsungen und Training, FrameScript, XML/XSL, Unicode Blog: http://cap-studio.de/ - Tel. +49 (9131) 28747
