XSLT 2.0
I have a problem (probably my own misuse of XSLT) but I run into cases where
<xsl:template match="NODE/text()">
…
</xsl:template>
can match more then once in a row. I have not debugged this yet to
determine if something more complex is really the culprit (probably is),
and the text nodes matched seem to be whitespace " \n\t .."
But before I really start digging maybe someone could tell me offhand what
the *expected* behaviour is ?
If I have an element lik
<ELEM>
some
Text
Here</ELEM>
is
<xsl:template match="NODE/text()">
*supposed* to be called once and only once with the entire text children or
is it possible that it is called multiple times with chunks of data as the
processer sees fit. ?
The xpath data model never has empty text nodes in a document or
adjacent text nodes, they have to be merged appropriately.
So text() should match the entire text node. matching text() is a pretty
rare thing to need to do though (and makes your code fragile if for
example there are any comments in the file, then the text nodes are
split either side of the comment.)
