Subject: [xsl] Xsl:strip-space and xsl:preserve-space (XSLT 2.0)
In my stylesheet, I am stripping all the spaces, new line
character while using <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> which
works perfectly as desired.
But now I've come across the requirement where I need to
preserve spaces between the tags in few specific elements
generally the punctuations(see below example) I tried to use
the <xsl:preserve-space> to sort out this issue but doesn't
seems to be working and "xsl:strip-space" seems to overcoming
the effect of "xsl:preserve-space" effects. Can we use both
to get their respective effects or simply they cannot be used
together?
Below is how they looks in my stylesheet:
Snippet
=======
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions";>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:preserve-space elements="element1 element2"/>
<xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" indent="no" media-type="text/xml"
method="xml"/>
--------------
--------------

</xsl:stylesheet>
Example:
<element1><surname>Dajnoki</surname>, <givenname>K.</givenname>
(<year>2002</year>) <article-title>XXXXX YYYY</article-title>.
<journal-title>ZZZZZZ XXXX</journal-title>
<first-page>43</first-page>–<last-page>46</last-page>.</
element1>
Note: Spaces between the tags with any punctuation appears
correctly (like in <surname>Dajnoki</surname>,
<givenname>K.</givenname>) but fails in case of a single
space between tags > < (for instance in </journal-title>
<first-page> and results into the </journal-title><first-page> )
Below is how I have defined template for "element1"
<xsl:template match="element1">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
Any suggestion would be an immense help.
Best,
