Serializer preserve spaces
Hi
This must be a FAQ but I can't seem to find the answer in the wiki or the
archives...
How do I configure the XMLSerializer to preserve whitespace?
Here's my test case:
Given an XML doc test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<text>Some text with spaces</text>
I use an XSLT stylesheet text.xsl:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:preserve-space elements="text"/>
<xsl:template match="text">
<new-text><xsl:apply-templates/></new-text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
With this pipeline the extra whitespace is removed:
<map:match pattern="text.xml">
<map:generate src="text.xml"/>
<map:transform src="style/text.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
Changing to the TextSerializer preserves the whitespace.
Can I control this behavior for the XMLSerializer?
Thanks for any help,
Steve

The XML serializer preserves whitespace it gest from earlier
stages.

I suppose the multiple spaces between "with" and "spaces"
appear to be missing. What kind of tool do you use to view
the result? Try a plain text editor.

Steve:
It is not that simple. I don't even think it is possible. Parsers are
free to ignore whitespace they don't consider important or relevant, so
the serializer simply generates whatever it can see in SAX or DOM.
Google for "XML Infoset" to read more on this subject.
