Subject: [xsl] normalize-space and the identity template From: Keith Gilbert <kgilbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 22:54:25 -0500 |
I have the following xml:
<Company>
<Title>Federal Civil Trial </Title>
<Author>by John Doe </Author>
<Body>Blah blah blah blah blah. </Body>
</Company>
I need to remove the extra spaces that sometimes occur before the end-tags.
I've been messing around with the identity template, and can get that to copy
my XML intact.
The following trims the spaces before the end-tags nicely.
<xsl:template match="Company/Title">
<xsl:copy><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Company/Author">
<xsl:copy><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
But what I'm wondering is if there's a way to use the identity template to
copy the whole tree, but still somehow use normalize-space to remove the
spaces. This would enable me to not have to match each element of the tree
individually (there are a lot of possible elements).
I can't quite get me head around this one. Any pointers in the right direction
are appreciated.
BTW, I'm stuck having to use XSL 1.0 for this project.
