Problems with normlize() and whitespace stripping
Subject: Problems with normlize() and whitespace stripping From: "Richard Lander" <rlander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 14:23:24 -0400 |
Hello, I am having quite a bit of trouble stripping the extra whitespace out of my PARA elements, without also losing sub-elements. I started with: <xsl:template select="PARA"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:value-of select='normalize()'/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> It nicely normalizes the text into long strings but strips away my sub-elements. I also tried: <xsl:template match='PARA'> <xsl:copy> <xsl:value-of select='normalize()'> <xsl:apply-templates select='*|@*|comment()|pi()|text()'/> </xsl:value-of> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> No difference. I've also tried a bunch of other things which yield no better but worse results. I can separate the text() from the * and *@ but not normalize them and keep them together. Is there a way? I've gotten the idea that normalize() cannot be a member of the an xsl:apply-templates but only an xsl:value-of. Is that so? BTW: The only other rules in the stylesheet are: <xsl:template match='/'> <xsl:comment>This file is automatically generated. Do not edit!</xsl:comment> <xsl:pi name='xml'>version="1.0" standalone="no"</xsl:pi> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match='*|@*|comment()|pi()|text()'> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select='*|@*|comment()|pi()|text()'/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> Thanks, Richard.
