Subject: RE: [xsl] comparing a part of the XML tree From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2007 11:44:38 +0100 |
There's probably a difference in the whitespace. If text nodes aren't significant, then using selection/* and original/* would be better than selection/node(), original/node(). You might like to play around with the Saxon-specific version of the function, saxon:deep-equal(). This has an extra "flags" argument to control how the comparison is done; the simplest setting is '?' which outputs (by default to System.err) an explanation of why the result of deep-equal() was false. There is also an option 'w' which ignores whitespace text nodes at all levels of the tree. To do this without using extensions, you have to copy both trees to eliminate the whitespace.
