Re: [xsl] tag with one blank body

Many thanks

in the first solution you're right about the missing quote inside dobule
quote, I wrote too fast and some quote remained in the keyboard...

after applying xslt we have a string that we parse with xmlbeans object
and than we print xmlbeans object to log file. In the log I see

<QCat></QCat>

You're right that the space may disappear in many points, I'll debug
immediately after applying xslt.

Many thanks

Best regards

Your second one works for me ... your first one is missing something.

I've the need to generate in the output xml this tag with exactly one
space inside the body:

<QCat> </QCat>

I've tried this in the xstl:

<QCat><!-- DataType: Alphanumeric
                             Length: 2
                             Left justified. Blank fill if not used
                             --><xsl:value-of select=' '/></QCat>

What you have above is an empty expression, not an expression for a 
string of a single space.  That would be:

   select="' '"

or:

   select='" "'

and this

<QCat><!-- DataType: Alphanumeric
                             Length: 2
                             Left justified. Blank fill if not used
                             --><xsl:text> </xsl:text></QCat>

That should work without problem, and it does with my processor.

but both give

<QCat></QCat>

Any hints?

How are you determining QCat is empty?  Are you looking at the file 
in its raw form, or are you perhaps opening the file in an XML editor 
and the editor is for some reason thinking the element is empty and 
presenting it as such?

I hope this helps.
