Re: XML output ugly

Michele,



It looks like you can use this in your <xsl:output> element:



xalan:line-separator="&#10;"

Bridger, thanks!!    I still get an extra line in between, but yes, that
information does fix the indenting.  Very cool!  Now if I could just get rid
of that extra lineb&



    <c03>



        <did>



            <unittitle>A. Van Jordan (Poetry)</unittitle>



            <unitid>fv_6680</unitid>



            <unitdate type="inclusive"
normal="2007-02-28">2/28/2007</unitdate>



            <physdesc>



                <extent>DVD</extent>



            </physdesc>



            <container>Box 19</container>



        </did>



    </c03>



For what itbs worth, and in case anyone was wondering, there are no blank
lines or carriage returns or anything in the input document.  Itbs just a
solid block of xml.  So these extra lines are clearly being generated by the
XSLT processor.  I will do some hunting on bxalanb and see if anything
else turns up.

Hi Michele,

I'm not familiar with Filemaker Pro or Xalan, but I did find a Stackoverflow
answer that looks promising[1].

Adding a namespace declaration and a parameter to <xsl:output/> seems work in
the context of question there.

...
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
exclude-result-prefixes="xalan">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"
xalan:indent-amount="4"/>
...



Hope that's helpful.

Best,

Bridger
