[xsl] Losing white-space in mixed content
Subject: [xsl] Losing white-space in mixed content From: Peter Flynn <peter@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 05 May 2003 23:41:55 +0100 |
When processing two consecutive elements in mixed content separated by white-space, using text output in XSLT, the white-space gets lost. This occurs using Saxon 6.5.2 under Red Hat 9: I haven't tested it with anything else yet, but the sister stylesheet which output HTML keeps the white-space as expected. Is this a bug or a feature of XSLT text-mode? Minimal document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <para>Created using the <productname>DocBook</productname> <acronym>DTD</acronym> on 2003-05-05.</para> Note the newline and indent space (added by psgml) between DocBook and DTD. Minimal stylesheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="text" encoding="iso-8859-1"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:text>\documentclass{article}
</xsl:text> <xsl:text>\begin{document}
</xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:text>\end{document}</xsl:text> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="para"> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:text>

</xsl:text> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="productname"> <xsl:text>\product{</xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:text>}</xsl:text> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="acronym"> <xsl:text>\acro{</xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:text>}</xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Output from Saxon: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Created using the \product{DocBook}\acro{DTD} on 2003-05-05. \end{document} This looks wrong: the white-space in mixed content should be honoured between the productname element and the acronym element. Both nsgmls and rxp retain the newline and space tokens. Or have I missed something arcane in the XSLT spec? ///Peter XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
