Re: [xsl] How to trim leading and trailing spaces in xsl:attribute?

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Hi Mike,
    Where we must specify xml:space="preserve" attribute
   (to preserve whitespace only text nodes in
   stylesheet)?


anywhere that is the parent of the node you want to preserve: each node
is considered separately.

  Would it be at this tag -
  <xsl:stylesheet xml:space="preserve" ...

You could do it there but as Mike said you probably don't want to do
that.

For example xsl:param has to be the first thing in a template but people
often go

<xsl:template name="x">
  <xsl:param name="y"/>

and if you don't ignore the white space node there then xsl:param is no
longer the first node, and it generates an error.
