Subject: Re: [xsl] codepoints-to-string for new line From: Stefan Krause <stf@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2013 10:54:35 +0200 |
A lot of my stylesheets start with entity declarations for cr (
 and in some cases 
) and crt (<xsl:text>&cr;</xsl:text>), so I can write <xsl:text>abc</xsl:text>&crt; See for an example [1]. This also works with XSLT 1.0. Note that &cr; will not work within attributes because of attribute-value normalization, a step every XML parser has to pass during parsing of the stylesheet [2]. A workaround is a $newline variable as described by Liam.
