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/>.

Subject: [xsl] Formated text output
Hi everybody,
First of all I have to say that I'm a newbie in XSL, so
please apologize
me if I submit basic questions.
I think that my problem is very simple. I have quite complex
data in a
database and I want to export it in several formats. I want
to generate
an intermediate XML documet and apply to it different XSLT to
transform
to the specified format. Some of them are XML documents and
other plain
text with tab separated columns, my problem is related with the plain
text formats.
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
