The encoded no-break space character is in between the tags. In this email I used byte 0xA0 because that's how you represent no-break space directly in iso-8859-1. Of course the two different kinds of spaces are indistinguishable visually. If I were making an effort to stick to us-ascii in this email, there's no byte for no-break space, so I'd have to resort to using a character reference or entity reference. > This poses an issue within XML Spy since the auto-indent editing feature > will truncate the latter to <td/> IIRC, in some function somewhere in Windows, U+00A0 is considered to be whitespace. XML Spy's indenter probably relies on such a function where it shouldn't. So this is probably where the bug is in XML Spy. > BTW, it's also a shame that MSXML ignores the "indent" attribute of > xsl:output, but that's something else altogether. Huh? Given this as test.xsl: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" indent="no" encoding="iso-8859-1"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>test</title> </head> <body> <h1>test</h1> <table> <tr> <td>hello world</td> <td>goodbye cruel world</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> And invoking MSXML via msxsl.exe: C:\dev>msxsl \temp\test.xsl \temp\test.xsl <html><head> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>test</title></head><body><h1>test</h1><table><tr><td>hello world</td><td>goodbye cruel world</td></tr></table></body></html> ...and after changing indent to "yes": C:\dev>msxsl \temp\test.xsl \temp\test.xsl <html> <head> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>test</title> </head> <body> <h1>test</h1> <table> <tr> <td>hello world</td> <td>goodbye cruel world</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> It looks like it is honoring the attribute to me. Perhaps you were expecting a greater degree of indenting? - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
