Subject: Re: [xsl] Formatting issue with HTML and TEXT output method From: "Senthilkumaravelan K" <skumaravelan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 08:28:01 -0700 |
Hi Abel, We have an two xslt, one produces the HTML output and other produces the text output for the same xml data. My xml data has more nodes than I have given in my last example. Always <cond> node has html content as text node value . When We render it in html output, base on the formatting elements being used in html tag it get displayed properly. In case of text output, I loose the formatting attributes of the html content in the <cond> for the text output method. Hope I am clear in my question.
