Re: [xsl] XML output ugly

Hi Michele,

 

Are you viewing the output on a Mac? I think Windows uses a carriage return + 
line feed sequence (or vice versa), whereas the Mac just uses one of them. 
There may be a line ending flag for xalan that you can set for Mac/Unix line 
endings.

Bridger, thanks!!    I still get an extra line in between, but yes, that 
information does fix the indenting.  Very cool!  Now if I could just get rid of 
that extra line…

            <container>Box 19</container>

 

        </did>

 

    </c03>

 

For what it’s worth, and in case anyone was wondering, there are no blank lines 
or carriage returns or anything in the input document.  It’s just a solid block 
of xml.  So these extra lines are clearly being generated by the XSLT 
processor.  I will do some hunting on “xalan” and see if anything else turns up.

Hi Michele, 

I'm not familiar with Filemaker Pro or Xalan, but I did find a Stackoverflow 
answer that looks promising[1]. 

Adding a namespace declaration and a parameter to <xsl:output/> seems work in 
the context of question there.

...
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
exclude-result-prefixes="xalan">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" 
xalan:indent-amount="4"/>
...

 

Hope that's helpful.

Best,

Bridger
