Why are the white spaces in my xml file not
maintained? There are some white spaces(mutliple ws)
and it only outputs one. I read that
<xsl:perserve-space elements="transaction_data" does
not need to be called b/c it is the default. How can
I maintain those white spaces?

Since the <transaction_detail> element is a child of
<row> and not the root element of the document, you
must lose the intial "/" in the XPath selecting it.
In other words, change this:
<xsl:value-of select="/transaction_detail"/>
to this:
<xsl:value-of select="transaction_detail"/>
On a more fundamental note. There appears to be no
reason to use for-each here. Switch to the more
natural (for XSLT) <xsl:apply-templates> approach.
Taking a few liberties with the unstated parts of
your transformation, this is the stylesheet I
recommend:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"
encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<fo:root>
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="base">
<fo:region-body region-name="body"
margin-top="0.5in"
margin-bottom="0.5in"
margin-left="0.5in"
margin-right="0.5in" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="base">
<fo:flow flow-name="body">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="invoice">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="detail">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="transaction_detail">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="line_sequence" />
<xsl:template match="format_control" />
<xsl:template match="group_no" />
</xsl:stylesheet>

Subject: [xsl] xls:for-each not working
I cannot get my for-each statement to work. Am I
doing this incorrectly? I am just wanting to
output
all of the data in the xml file that has a
<transaction_data> tag. Here is my statement and
below is the sample xml. I use this to attempt to
display my template <xsl:call-template
name="detail"/>
Please help!
Thanks!
Josh
<xsl:template name="detail">
<xsl:for-each select="/invoice/detail/row">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="/transaction_detail"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
SAMPLE XML
<invoice>
<detail>
<row>
