Hi,
I am really sorry for all the troubles, but we had some whitespace issues with
XML Spy....
First I thought that my normalizing stylesheet doesn't work properly, but
fortunately it does.
There are interesting things going on, if you decide to "pretty-print" your XML
documents...
The problem with normalize-space was the following:
We first generated FO documents including nodes like
<marker> §§ 13 </maker>
These documents were pretty printed via XML Spy, so there was whitespace
which we wanted to get rid off (since it was output in our PDFs).
If we would have used
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select=""normalize-space(.)"/>
</xsl:template>
we would have got
<marker>§§ 13<marker>
Or is my understanding of normalize-space incorrect?
wbr,
Roman

Betreff: RE: [xsl] Matching text nodes with only whitespaces
I need to write a template matching text nodes, which just
consit of
multiple whitespaces (tabs in most cases). I cant't use
normalize-space since I need leading and tailing
whitespaces in some
cases. I suppose matches() would help me here, but I actually don't
know how to formulate the regular expression for that. Can
you help me
here? Thanks!
How about:
<xsl:template match="text()[not(normalize-space(.))]">
...
</xsl..
I'm not sure I understand why you can't use normalize-space()?
cheers
andrew
