hello,
I want to be able to generate an xml element using
<xsl:element/attribute,
etc. such that the output xml file has a newline between each
attribute. my
hunch is that this is impossible in current tools b/c xml is
content- rather
than display- oriented, but I wanted to at least ask.
Many of the open source XSLT processors allow you to write your own
serializer, or to subclass the XML serializer that comes with the
package. So if you really want to do this, it shouldn't be difficult.
But don't expect to be able to customize the output at this level just
by setting a switch.

(the usefulness of this feature would be in debugging - for human
readability, and also in order to be able to grep on an
attribute name and
have returned a set of lines that contain only that attribute
for a bunch of
elements.)
***
an example xml output file would be:
<a
attrib1="val1"
attrib2="val2"
attrib3="val3"/>
thanks in advance.
