[xsl] Whitespace around comments

2007-10-08 16:13:59
Greetings All,

I'm having some trouble convincing my XSL code to make a comment an
inline structure rather than starting a new line with the start of the
comment. Here is the template doing the work:

<xsl:template name="bold">
 <xsl:variable name="content">
  <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
 </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="contains(.,'&gt;')"><menu><xsl:call-template
name="parsemenu"/></menu></xsl:when>
   <xsl:when test="$content = 'OK' or $content =
'Cancel'"><gui><xsl:apply-templates/></gui></xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise><b><xsl:apply-templates/></b><xsl:comment>Comment text
here.</xsl:comment></xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

In the output, I'm seeing the following (as an example):

<para>All Probes in the load-sharing setup must be assigned the 
same value for <b>Segment Name</b>
<!--Comment text here.-->.</para>

The newline after the </b> tag introduces whitespace between the bolded
word "Name" and the following period. This is a bad thing. I cannot
figure out how the newline is getting in between the </b> end tag and
the start of the comment. The only thing I can think of is that it is
caused by indent="yes" on the output element for this stylesheet.

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,

Paul
