Re: [xsl] xsl: preserving spaces preserves only one space?

[josh higgins <doopsterus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks buddy but I did just what you suggested and it
does not seem to work. Below is the code where I made
the modification.  Does this not seem correct?  Does
the order of attribute specification matter.  I would
assume not b/c the scope is propably the same.  Ideas.
 Oh if you know of any good resource to read to become
more firmilar with xsl then please let me know.


<xsl:template name="detail">
	<xsl:for-each select="/invoice/detail/row">
		<fo:block font-size="10pt"
white-space-treatment="preserve">
			<xsl:value-of select="transaction_detail"/>
		</fo:block>
	</xsl:for-each> 
</xsl:template>
