Hi all,
Here is a very old most asked / answered question: XSLT 1.1: Trimming
leading and trailing spaces. I have looked at multiple solutions,
recursive templates because I need to use it in my code. They all seem
very long and verbose, so I want to know is there is any hit on
processing/speed if I simply use this:
<xsl:value-of select="translate(normalize-space(translate($text,'
','~')),'~',' ')" />
Basically:
First replace all linefeed characters - because normalize-space would
remove line-feed cahracter – with some character that you know will
not be used in the text – I used "~" – by using the translate
function. Then use normalize-space, replacing all white space, then
translate the "~" back to line-feed.
This is a one liner solution and it works for me – I just want to know
if this would be slower than a recursive template solution.
Advise would be well appreciated.
Thanks,
Hasnain Panjwani
