Subject: Re: [xsl] Fwd: Over/under trimming of whitespace From: "David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 23:14:50 -0600 |
David, Thank you for helping. I may be misinterpreting the XPATH spec, but it says "The normalize-space function returns the argument string with whitespace normalized by stripping leading and trailing whitespace and replacing sequences of whitespace characters by a single space." I was expecting a single space and not an empty string - it definitely did this with Saxon, and I suspect that it does with Xalan but with Xalan I did not look at the intermediate result of my XHTML to FO translation. In this case it would be nice to be able to test for some whitespace as opposed to an empty string. Thanks, David Morris >>> davidc@xxxxxxxxx 04/25/02 04:24PM >>> : I have a couple of problems here, I thought that normalize-space() : should return a single character if any whitespace exists. why?:-) As you spotted it returns empty string but you only need a minor tweak to your test test="normalize-space()='' and .!=''" is true just if the string value of the current node is non zero white space.
