Subject: [xsl] regarding newline From: subbu@xxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2002 11:14:40 +0100 |
hi, I have a problem with the new lines. What i am doing is, I have formed a DTD file thaz called entityreference.dtd ( which i will make use in the xsl through doctype) <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet SYSTEM "D:\xsl-exp\characterEntities\entityref.dtd"> the following is the contents of this file <!ENTITY space " "> <!-- space --> <!ENTITY quots """> <!-- double quotes--> <!ENTITY newline "
"> <!--new line--> etc..... . . . . I did this so that i may just refer to them in my XSL like <xsl:value-of select = "@id"/> &space; <xsl:value-of select = "."/> to get me a space between id and value just to replace the code <xsl:value-of select = "@id"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select = "."/> this works fine.. I now want to use the newline character. so instead of using the <xsl:text>
</xsl:text> i declare the entity in the dtd.. <!ENTITY newline "
"> <!--new line--> and try to do things like <xsl:value-of select = "@id"/> &newline;<xsl:value-of select = "."/> nothin seems to happen.. I was going through the Michlael Kay's XSLT Reference and found that "XML parser will normalize the attribute values.A tab or a newline is allways replaced by a single space unless it is written as a character reference such as <<	>> or <<&#A>> " I am not sure how to aceive what i want I am how ever satisfied to use <xsl:value-of select = "@id"/> <xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select = "."/> Which produces a newline between id and value.. Any ideas regarding what i should do ?? Wheather or not i am in the right track to declare entities in the dtd file and refer them in the XSL .. The following is a snipp of the XSL code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet SYSTEM "D:\characterEntities\entityref.dtd"> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="centers/center"> <!-- space between id and value --> <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>&space;<xsl:value-of select ="."/> <!-- the above works same as coding <xsl:value-of select="@id"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select ="."/>--> <!-- newline between id and value --> <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>&newline;<xsl:value-of select ="."/> <!-- the above does not produce any newline ,( newline defined in dtd as <!ENTITY newline "
"> <!--new line--> ) but instruction like <xsl:value-of select="@id"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select ="."/> gives me a newline character --> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Any suggestions ??
