Re: [xsl] Unable to get text() of node
Subject: Re: [xsl] Unable to get text() of node From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2006 12:49:17 GMT |
Change your posted code to use preserve-space then I get the following output with saxon, and with msxsl stripping or not stripping white space: $ saxon wspace.xml wspace.xsl <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><foo> text. </foo> $ msxsl -xw wspace.xml wspace.xsl <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><foo> text. </foo> $ msxsl wspace.xml wspace.xsl <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><foo> text. </foo> saxon8 has a similar option to remove all white space before the transform starts $ saxon8 -sall wspace.xml wspace.xsl Warning: Running an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet with an XSLT 2.0 processor <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><foo> text. </foo> Note that if the parser has been asked to drop white space (msxml -xw or saxon8 -sall) then the space is gone, even thought the stylesheet says preseve-space elements="*". Actually in the case of msxml the situation is a little more complicated than that, the removed text nodes are not completely removed, a special magic marker is left there to show that there was some white space. The msxsl serialiser has some heuristics that try to guess whether or not to add space at that point when serialising. The end result being for example that sometimes if you do a copy-of you get space in the output, but if you do an "equivalent" apply-templates with an identity template, you do not.
