Either use <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> to remove the white-space
nodes from the source document, or avoid processing the
white-space text
nodes by using <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> instead of
<xsl:apply-templates/>.
OK, I'll stick my neck out.
Its a bit subtle this, for me.
5.2 says <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> matches any element.
<apply-templates/> looks for matches on .... ?? any node???
(including the text nodes which are the 'undesirables' in this case???)
Is that the difference? (Give or take a little on the loose wording David C
:-)
regards DaveP.
I have a XML document like this
<a>
<b>
<c att1="X" att2="Y">Z</c>
</b>
</a>
And I want to generate a text file like this (tab separated columns)
=== BEGIN OF THE GENERATED DOC ===
X Y Z
=== END OF THE GENERATED DOC ===
But the transformation writes all the tabs and newline
characters of the
XML document, so I obtain something like this
=== BEGIN OF THE GENERATED DOC ===
X Y Z
=== END OF THE GENERATED DOC ===
How can I avoid this?
Thanks in advance,
Luis
