RE: [xsl] Inserting White Space ( ) through XSL.
Subject: RE: [xsl] Inserting White Space ( ) through XSL. From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 3 May 2004 12:11:50 +0100 |
Why are you using method="xml" to generate HTML? The entity reference & n b s p ; isn't even defined in XML, so you are creating output formatted as XML that isn't legal XML. Are you running this transformation in the browser? Why are you declaring the xsl-fo namespace, is it just to confuse your readers?
