RE: newline headaches in text output

I tried using Xalan-Java version 2.6.0 and Saxon and it worked fine for me.
You might want to tell us a little background on what processor you are
using.

Thanks,
Vidya

Subject: [xsl] newline headaches in text output


Hello,

I am currently attempting to generate delimited text files from XML
source documents using XSL.  When I perform the transformation I get
extra newlines at the beginning of the target document.  I have read
through the FAQ and the topic: "text output method, and newline
problems", while relevant didn't provide me with a solution.  I have
included a simple xml object and a simple xsl sheet.  Any advice would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Adam

Stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
      <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
      <xsl:output method="text"/>
        <xsl:template match="people">
        <xsl:for-each select="person">
                <xsl:text/><xsl:value-of
select="name"/><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<people>
        <person>
                <name>A</name>
        </person>
        <person>
                <name>B</name>
        </person>
        <person>
                <name>C</name>
        </person>
</people>

My result:

____File Begin___


A
B
C
