Re: [xsl] Formatting XML output

["Rick Quatro" <frameexpert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help, but it still doesn't work. I am using a scripting 
language for FrameMaker called FrameScript, which allows me to access MSXML 
objects. Here is my basic script.

// Create the MSXML objects.
Set oXmlDoc = InitializeXObject{'Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0'};
Set oStylesheet = InitializeXObject{'Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0'};
If (oXmlDoc = 0) or (oStylesheet = 0)
 LeaveSub;
EndIf

// Create the stylesheet.
Set sStylesheet = '<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>';
Set sStylesheet = sStylesheet + '<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>';
Set sStylesheet = sStylesheet + '<xsl:template match="/">';
Set sStylesheet = sStylesheet + '<xsl:copy-of select="."/>';
Set sStylesheet = sStylesheet + '</xsl:template>';
Set sStylesheet = sStylesheet + '</xsl:stylesheet>';
// Load the stylesheet.
oStylesheet.loadXML{sStylesheet};

// Build up the XML document.
Set oRoot = oXmlDoc.createElement{'toc'};
oRoot.setAttribute{'title','Standard Operating Procedures Manual'};
oXmlDoc.appendChild{oRoot};
Set oFolder = oXmlDoc.createElement{'folder'};
oFolder.setAttribute{'title','0135 Technical Support'};
oFolder.setAttribute{'expanded','false'};
oRoot.appendChild{oFolder};
Set oFile = oXmlDoc.createElement{'file'};
oFile.setAttribute{'title','Response to Customer Support Telephone Calls'};
oFile.setAttribute{'refid','File01.txt'};
oFolder.appendChild{oFile};
Set oFile = oXmlDoc.createElement{'file'};
oFile.setAttribute{'title','Customer Support Call List'};
oFile.setAttribute{'refid','File02.txt'};
oFolder.appendChild{oFile};

// Transform the XML document.
Set sOutput = oXmlDoc.transformNode{oStylesheet};

// Save the XML to a file.
eStr.SaveToTextFile{sOutput,ClientDir+DIRSEP+'Output.txt'};

// Delete the objects.
Delete Object(oXmlDoc);
Delete Object(oStylesheet);

When this runs, Output.txt contains the XML declaration on a single line, 
but the rest of the XML is on the second line with no new-lines or indents.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<toc title="Standard Operating Procedures Manual"><folder title="0135 
Technical Support" expanded="false"><file title="Response to Customer 
Support Telephone Calls" refid="File01.txt" /><file title="Customer Support 
Call List" refid="File02.txt" /></folder></toc>

This may be an MSXML (or FrameScript) issue, but I thought I would try here 
first. Thanks.
