Subject: Re: [xsl] How can the mere switch from DTD to XSD in the source document affect how a stylesheet handles white space? From: "Wolfhart Totschnig wolfhart.totschnig@xxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 15:21:54 -0000 |
Thank you, Martin, Michael, and Liam, for your replies! I understand now. Best regards, Wolfhart

The _only_ whitespace that can officially be dropped by an XML parser is when a DTD is in use and the DYD says an elememt only has elmeent children, not #PCDATA. oher schemas, such as W3C XSD or RelaxNG, are processed _after_ the XML is parsed and such spaces have been (or not been) dropped based on the DTD.
What is processor-dependent is ways to mitigate this when it's a difficulty.
Note (there was another thread on this recently) that a language defined in XML can say that white-space in certain context is ignored, as happend when an XSLT stylesheet itself is read.
