Subject: Re: [xsl] check for whitespace value between nodes From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:02:37 -0400 |
In fact the expression I proposed also covers your "first definition".
Do note that there is only a single definition for whitespace in the XML Recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-common-syn) :
[3] S ::= (#x20 | #x9 | #xD | #xA)+
and this is exactly what the normalize-space() function handles (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-normalize-space):
"Summary: Returns the value of $arg with whitespace normalized by stripping leading and trailing whitespace and replacing sequences of one or more than one whitespace character with a single space, #x20.
The whitespace characters are defined in the metasymbol S (Production 3) of [Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 Recommendation (Third Edition)]."
Cheers, Wendell
