Thanks again Mike
I had to play around with this too. Try the wrap-option="no-wrap" and white-space-collapse="false"
<fo:block font-size="10pt" font-family="Courier" line-height="15pt" space-after.optimum="3pt" text-align="left" wrap-option="no-wrap" white-space-collapse="false" >

Hi,
I've spent the last few hours searching the archives of this list and a few others and can't find what I'm looking for.
I am using FOP 0.20.3, Xalan 2.2 to do XML->PDF transforms. I have an element that is preformatted legacy text. It's got tabs and spaces and linefeed/carriage returns. I want to output this in the PDF in the same format.
Here's a sample:
NAME ADDRESS CITY, STATE, ZIP BEGIN PARAGRAPH
BEGIN SECOND PARAGRAPH BEGIN SUBPARAGRAPH
Now the reason I'm posting to this list is that I can take a xsl:fo file and transform the text if I copy and paste it into the FO document and then run FOP on it. The PDF that is generated is formatted perfectly. But when I do the transform to FO dynamically with XSL, it removes all the carriage returns/line feeds.
Here's the XSL that I'm using for the element:
<xsl:template match="LegacyTextData"> <fo:block font-size="9pt" font-family="Courier" line-height="12pt" text-align="left" white-space-collapse="false"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="." /> </fo:block> </xsl:template>
I can't use linefeed-treatment property since FOP doesn't support it. but the real issue I'm having trouble with is that it appears that Xalan is stripping out the linefeeds which I thought the XSLT processor isn't supposed to do.
I have also tried using xml:space="preserve" in the LegacyTextData element which did nothing, I also added the disable-output- escaping="yes" to the <xsl:value-of /> statement.
any tips on what's going on would be appreciated.
