RE: [xsl] Difference between <when>x</when> and <when><text>x</text></when>

2010-03-18 11:31:38
I noticed that XALAN 2.7.1 makes a difference between

<when>
  x
</when>

(Result includes line breaks and blanks)

and

<when>
  <xsl:text>x</xsl:text>
</when>

(Result includes only 'x' wihout breaks or blanks).

Is that a bug or is that wanted behaviour?

That's correct behaviour. Whitespace text nodes in the stylesheet should be
ignored, unless the parent node is an xsl:text element.
