I generate pages for sites two ways. Either I pregenerate html from a custom config.xml file or the page is generated through cocoon on the server when called. When I call xalan.xslt.ProcessorFactory for pre-generation, instructions in the <xsl:output> tag are adhered to. When I use:
the resultant html is left justified with carriage returns in logical places (after </table> etc...). This turns out to be the best balance of legibility and file size. When I use:
All hell breaks loose...file sizes grow by 10K and complex table layouts that depend on no extra whitespace get blown wide open (I'm not responsible for the design requirements). When I use:
3)<xsl:output method="html"/> or <xsl:output method="html" indent="no"/>
I get a steady stream of html (really long lines) except for CDATA sections. This yields the best file size, HOWEVER, the really long lines are periodically and irregularly broken by Netscape 4.7. When the break occurs in the middle of a tag like this:
<ta ble>
Question: Does anyone know how to replicate this form of html output with cocoon(who's property file overrides the output tag)?? Once you tell cocoon to indent output, it indents lines, but also wraps lines between attributes so there is really no point to the indentation:
width="1"><br><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="136"><tr><td><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="136"><form
or Is there a way to turn off cocoon's formatter and just have it use xalan's <xsl:output> defaults??
