Hi,

Sometimes when I deal with XSLT, if I use this indent method:
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no" />
Then I obtain all the results in one line, no EOL's.
But I have found a case where this is not true, why?
Because your xslt snippet contains non-whitespace-only text nodes with
line-breaks, which are copied in an unaffected matter (whitespaces preserved)
to the result tree.
To avoid this, change
<xsl:when test="LoginName">
1
</xsl:when>
to
<xsl:when test="LoginName">1</xsl:when>
or to
<xsl:when test="LoginName">
<xsl:text>1</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
regards,
Thanks Joris. I have fixed some annoying whitespaces with this advice.
But now I have another related issue:
In HTML I have the advantage of writing a paragraph using EOL's and
don't worrying about the end view of the page because EOL's will be
converted to whitespaces.
Example:
<p>
This is a easy-to-edit paragraph because
I can break it into multiple lines.
<p>
The result in the browser will not contain any line-breaks.
Now, doesn't XSLT provide a "similar" way to edit paragraphs without
sending unnecessary line-breaks to the final result?
I mean, given this:
<xsl:when test="whatever">
<p>
This is my paragraph which I want to break in multiple
lines so as to edit it later more easily.
</p>
</xsl:when>
If I use this, I obtain the unnecessary blank spaces which are present
between the words "multiple" and "lines". If I use <xml:text> with the
whole paragraph I will obtain the same because I still use
line-breaks:
<xsl:when test="whatever">
<p>
<xsl:text>
This is my paragraph which I want to break in multiple
lines so as to edit it later more easily.
</xsl:text>
</p>
</xsl:when>
The unique solution I have is to use <xsl:text> for EVERY LINE. This
is not very comfortable to maintain and also I have to worry about
putting a final whitespace at the end of each line (except the last
one) so as not to concatenate incorrectly:
<xsl:when test="whatever">
<p>
<xsl:text>This is my paragraph which I want to break in multiple
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>lines so as to edit it later more easily.</xsl:text>
</p>
</xsl:when>
Is there any better solution out there for this issue?
Thanks,
Andrew
