Re: [xsl] spacing issue

[Spencer Tickner <spencertickner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I was wrong,

When I looked at it by right clicking on the xml file and viewing it
in a browser it does look fine. The problem comes in when I run it
through Saxon.net and create the html file. Once again the spacing is
right out.  I will post my exact templates involved below:




	<!-- subsection -->
	<xsl:template match="subsection" mode="contentsection">
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="parent::section/sectiontext">
				<p class="sub">(<xsl:apply-templates
select="subsectionnumber"/>)&#xA0; <xsl:apply-templates
select="subsectiontext"/></p>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<xsl:if test="not(count(preceding-sibling::*[name()=name(current())])+1
= 1)">
					<p class="sub">(<xsl:apply-templates
select="subsectionnumber"/>)&#xA0; <xsl:apply-templates
select="subsectiontext"/></p>
				</xsl:if>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>
<!--subsectionnumber -->
	<xsl:template match="subsectionnumber">
		<xsl:apply-templates
select="text()|strong|a|graphic|em|sup|sub|u|insert|br|eacute|hr"/>
	</xsl:template>
<!--subsectiontext -->
	<xsl:template match="subsectiontext">
		<xsl:apply-templates
select="text()|strong|a|graphic|em|sup|sub|u|insert|br|eacute|hr"/>
	</xsl:template>
<!--insert -->
<xsl:template match="insert"><xsl:element name="{name()}"><xsl:element
name="span"><xsl:attribute
name="class">insert</xsl:attribute><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:element></xsl:
element></xsl:template>


Hope that's enough of an example,xml is the same as posted above.
Wether you can see it in the email or not I placed the entire template
for <insert> on one line, to no avail.

Cheers,

Spencer
