Re: Extra newline remove on text nodes

2005-04-12 20:56:40


Hi,
        Since the newlines are inlined in the text and you are using an
extension function urldecoder.decode to convert them to newlines, it is
possible not possible to say if the processor is the culprit in this case.

The actual newline character used is different on different systems like
"CRLF" on windows and "CR" on unix etc. Which one (CR or CRLF) is used in
the output depends on which one appears most in your document. It could be
that your decode function is passing the input it receives as is after
conversion or adding the extra newlines by itself. Either way, DC's
recommendation that you check your decode function to fix this issue seems
to be the right way to go at this time.

that is a good idea.

does this issue of extra newlines occur only with xalan or do other
transformers exhibit the same behavior.  is this in the spec?

Hi,
        In stream processing languages like sed,awk etc, the blank lines
are filtered by matching against the RegEx (^$). Maybe you can use the
exslt function 'tokenize' on your attribute with the newline character as
delimiter and then join the individual tokens which have length greater
than 0. Seems round about but just thought I'd mention.

yes, that removes ALL newlines.  I would like to preserve the original
newlines while not adding the extra two.



normalize-space() converts a run of newlines to a space.
Even if you kept a newline in the attribute value it would be reported
as a space by an XML parser when the result tree is used, so it may be
that using normalize-space is all you need.

Note also that


  <xsl:attribute name='name'>
   <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"



d-o-e is specified to have no effect on attribute values.

Otherwise it would probably be simpler to look to the definition of your
extension function
urldecoder:decode()
rather than try to correct teh output of that function with xslt1's
somewhat limited string handling.
