Subject: [xsl] RE: output/@indent="yes" and *[@xml:space="preserve"] From: "Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 23:32:30 -0000 |
Oh dear, I think you're right. The spec says in effect that whitespace shouldn't be added where <xsl:strip-space> wouldn't cause it to be stripped: which is the case when xml:space="preserve" applies. It also says that it shouldn't be added inside an xsl:text element - a rather odd provision which seems to special-case the output of stylesheets.
