RE: [xsl] .NET XSLT Parser and Indentation Whitespace Problem
Subject: RE: [xsl] .NET XSLT Parser and Indentation Whitespace Problem From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2007 08:47:40 -0000 |
Sounds like you want to replace every occurrence of "\n\s\s\s\s" with "\n" where \n represents a newline and \s a space (unless your actual text is using tab characters, of course). That's easily done in XSLT 2.0 using the replace() function. In 1.0, look in the FAQ for string-replacement code (there's an EXSLT function that does the job).
