I am having a very simple issue here. I'd like to be able to apply
normalize-space() even if I am dealing with a sequence of
string. If I do call normalize-space, the transformation
implicitly convert my sequence of string into string (saxon 8.9).
If the stylesheet specifies version="1.0", then normalize-space() will
process the first string in the sequence and ignore the others. If it
specifies version="2.0", then you will get a type error.
What's is this function that convert sequence of strings
into string ?
You can apply normalize-space to every string in a sequence (returning a
sequence of normalized strings) in the usual way: for $i in $seq return
normalize-space($i). If you want to combine a sequence of strings into a
single string, use string-join().
As a side note, there is no way to globally say 'all my xml
attribute/elements should have normalize space'.
Yes there is: you can declare their types in a schema to derive from
xs:token, and use schema-aware XSLT processing.
