Subject: RE: XSLT text output - better formatting possible? From: James Robertson <jamesr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 13:48:36 +1000 |
Or since the output is C++ code, you could just pipe the output through a pretty priter (with no additional markup), there's lots of free ones available, one that comes to mind is GNU indent. Seems like the effort required to get the XSLT processor to give nice output would be orders of magnitude more than just applying an external program.

Alternatively, you might want to explore using Omnimark instead of XSLT. This has quite a few features related to text formatting (including line-wrapping), and will give you absolute control over how every character is written out ...
