Subject: Re: [xsl] I output a tab character, then the output file contains space, tab, space ... why? From: "Eliot Kimber ekimber@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 15:24:45 -0000 |
I would use string-join for this: <xsl:sequence select="string-join($headers,$field-separator)"/> The for-each loop is not needed. Someone can correct me but I believe in your code the rules for sequence construction come into play meaning that the string result of a sequence always includes a space between items, so you're creating a sequence of ("A", "\t", "B"), which becomes "A \t B".
