stripping whitespace [c2].

["Yap, Mow Ching (NOW)" <MY...@uk.now.com>]

does anyone know the best way to strip whitespaces from xml generated by an
xsp document.

i use xml spy to write my xml documents. switching between grid view and
text view causes the elements in the doc to be neatly formatted, but
unfortunately adds whitespaces. so instead of:

<Title><xsp:expr>item.title</xsp:expr></Title>

i have:

<Title>
	<xsp:expr>item.title</xsp:expr>
</Title>

now, the only way i know how to strip these unwanted whitespaces is in the
xslt transform by using

normalize-space(Title)

which results in me having an xslt document full of normalize-space function
calls.

does anyone know a better way of resolving this. i read somewhere that an
accompanying schema would do the trick, but does c2 do runtime validation
against a schema, and do i really want that on request anyway.

tks.
mooch.

Hi!

Could you give me an working example (with a XML and a XSL file) of your normalize-space(Title) code. I am working on the same problem (see thread "HTML Code Formatting / Meta Tags" a few before), but all tests did not come to an good end, I think about a solution with xsl.

In C1 you could configure the line length of the output too.

Thanks in advance, Arno
