[xsl] XML to plain text : which processor best to use ?

[bruno.o.faure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,

I need to transform XML documents into plain text documents using XLST, as
part of a Java project.
Usually I use Xalan for XML --> XML transformations in java evironment, but
this time not only I will transform XML into text but also I need to be
able to manage perfectly blank spaces and carriage returns.
So I was wondering which processor to choose (Xalan, XT, others...) for
doing this, with eventually some special extensions (OutputHandler ?) for
managing correctly carriage returns and blank spaces. It seems that most
processors does not handle carriage returns very well without extensions...

Thanks for your advises,

Best regards

Bruno
