Subject: RE: [xsl] removing tab formatting during XSLT? From: "Richard Lander" <rlander@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 12:17:52 -0700 |
I've done this sort of thing before ... You have two problems, as I see it. 1- you are referencing a named entity (nbsp;) w/o really doing so. You would need to use ' '. Still, that probably doesn't make any sense, given that a non-breaking space isn't the same as a tab. 2. You should search on '	' instead. I'm pretty sure that that is the tab character ... Rich -----Original Message----- From: Macaulay,Malcolm (US) [mailto:Malcolm.Macaulay2@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 10:55 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Could someone please enlighten me on how I can remove tab formatting from my resulting XML. Here's an example: Source XML: <?xml version="1.0"?> <A> <B att="att">a</B> <C>b</C> <D>c</D> </A> Desired output XML (i.e. the same as input but with all tabs removed): <?xml version="1.0"?><A><B att="att">a</B><C>b</C><D>c</D></A> XSLT (which doesn't work): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="*"> <!-- recreate the element --> <xsl:element name="{name()}"> <!-- copy existing attributes--> <xsl:for-each select="@*"> <xsl:copy/> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:variable name="tab">nbsp;</xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select="translate(. , $tab , '')"/> </xsl:template> <!-- original attempt <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/> </xsl:template> --> </xsl:stylesheet> I want to remove the tabs because this significantly reduces the size of the file. Thanks in advance. cheers Malcolm XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
