Re: [xsl] Extra newline remove on text nodes

Hi,
         In stream processing languages like sed,awk etc, the blank lines
are filtered by matching against the RegEx (^$). Maybe you can use the
exslt function 'tokenize' on your attribute with the newline character as
delimiter and then join the individual tokens which have length greater
than 0. Seems round about but just thought I'd mention.

normalize-space() converts a run of newlines to a space.
Even if you kept a newline in the attribute value it would be reported
as a space by an XML parser when the result tree is used, so it may be
that using normalize-space is all you need.

Note also that
>    <xsl:attribute name='name'>
>     <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"

d-o-e is specified to have no effect on attribute values.

Otherwise it would probably be simpler to look to the definition of your
extension function
urldecoder:decode()
rather than try to correct teh output of that function with xslt1's
somewhat limited string handling.
