Re: [xsl] How to get comments to indent on their own line in XML output?

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

someone who apparently can't get English, xml, xslt or sed correct wrote:

  possibly the simplest
  thing to do is instead of using xsl:comment use 
  <myCommentElement>this is a comment<myCommentElement>
                                      
</myCommentElement>

  then it will indent as you wish. then to get it back to being a comment
  either do a second transform with an identity transform plust one

plus


  template to switch this back or just use

  sed -i -e "s/<myCommentElement>/<!--" -e "s/</myCommentElement>/-->" file.xml


sed -i -e "s@<myCommentElement>@<!--@g" -e "s@</myCommentElement>@-->@g" file.xml


  (or perl or any other language of choice).
