David,
ah it depends what you are doing, if you are doing an in-browser display
of the xml source, the msxml parser will have removed all white space
from the source (rather than from the result) before xslt starts, in
which case you need to "manually" indent the result, adding white space
(or nbsp). To test if this is the problem ass xml:space="presrve" to
your test document that you are serialising.
I added xml:space="preserve" to the <a> node (see below), no change in
the IE8 display.
In Firefox I can use "View Page Source" to inspect the input XML file.
And I can mark a selection, right-click and do "View Selection Source"
which then displays the HTML generated by the stylesheet referenced in
the XML file.
I googled, but IE8 seems not to support this feature.
I found a bookmarklet which should do the same:
http://pclancey.com/tutorial/selectsrc/
But this does not work for stylesheet generated HTML ...
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="serialize-demo2.xsl"?>
<?some-PI testing?>
<!-- comment1 -->
<a xml:space="preserve">
<![CDATA[<greeting>Hello, world!</greeting>]]>
<?another-PI test2?>
<!-- comment1 -->
<b n1="urn:a1" a2="x" xmlns:n1="urn:n1" xmlns:n2="urn:n2"/>
<c>text1<d a2="a2" xmlns="urn:d"/></c>
</a>
