Re: [xsl] line breaks showing up with method="html"

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you use indent="yes" and method="html" then the serializer is allowed to
insert whitespace anywhere that would not affect the rendered output in the
browser.

(Perhaps this is a little outdated, since it rather assumes the absence of
Javascript code in the browser that might be accessing the DOM
programatically).

In Saxon you can effectively suppress the line wrapping by setting
saxon:line-length to a very large value.
