Subject: RE: [xsl] Removing XML:space from output From: "Jason Macki" <jmacki@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2001 09:50:08 -0500 |
You're right. I had misunderstood the meaning and use of xml:space. What I really wanted to do was to preserve the spacing *between* tags in the output document. When the output element of a stylesheet is set to method='xml' and indent='yes', the folowing: <td><img src='example.gif' /></td> becomes transformed into this: <td> <img src='example.gif' /> </td> ...which introduces unwanted spacing. Changing the method to "html" would remove spacing between inline elements, but this would change my XHTML page into HTML. What I was wondering is if there was a way to use "indent='yes'" to make the page readable, preserve the spacing between inline elements (the way it does when the output method='html') and still keep the page as XHTML. (If you're wondering how I became so mixed up earlier, I tried using xml:space='preserve' in my inline elements, leaving the output method as 'html', not 'xml'. When I applied the tranformation, I thought that it had done what I wanted, but it was just following the indentation rule for 'html'.)

There is no space to preserve within the scope of that attribuute as the td element contains no white space character data.
