Hi list, Like many of you, I assume, I use a version control system when working on XSLT projects. I'm working together with multiple people, and we run the code through an XML formatter before checking it in to avoid formatting differences showing up in the diffs. The problem is that, due to attribute value normalization, carriage returns are removed from attribute nodes during XML parsing. When using long XPath expressions (and this has become very common in XSLT 3, especially with higher order functions), which are split in multiple lines, this results in huge single line outputs which are impossible to read. It seems any sort of XML processing will irreversibly transform the whitespace, therefore I have to choose between: - No formatting - Formatting using non-XML tools? - Finding a parser that bends the rules... Have any of you experienced the same problem and did you find a solution? Thanks. Willem Van Lishout willemvanlishout@xxxxxxxxx
