Re: [basex-talk] xslt:transform and white-space pb

Hi Emmanuelle, Gioele already gave you the answer (thanks): You need to explicitly encode the whitespace in one of the following ways: <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:text><![CDATA[ ]]></xsl:text> <xsl:text>{ ' ' }</xsl:text> The reason is that XQuery ignores empty text nodes, no matter what option you choose (unfortunately, even xml:space won't help, and db:chop only applies to BaseX document or database instances). As an alternative, you can store the XSLT document in a file. Best, Christian On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 10:57 PM, Emmanuelle Morlock <emmanuelle.morlock@mom.fr> wrote:

Hi Christian,

The pb seems to still be the same.

Please find attached : - the xml file for the database (my_biblio.xml) - the query

I want a space between the title and the publication year, which should be provided by the <xsl:text> </xsl:text> of the named template :

<xsl:template name="publicationDate"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates select="monogr/imprint/date/@when"/> </xsl:template>

so the result should be :

<span class="title">Khartoum Greek</span>, 2003</li>

but the result is

<span class="title">Khartoum Greek</span>,2003</li>

Thanks in advance

Hi Emmanuelle,

Could you please check if the problem has already been solved in Version 8.0 [1]?

If not, could you possibly provide us with a small example?

Thanks in advance, Christian

Hi all,

I'm using baseX 7.9 with GUI

My query declares an chop option set to "no" ("declare option db:chop 'no';") and uses "return xslt:transform($in, $style)".

But after running it, all the white-spaces in the xslt rules are chopped. for example the space in "<xsl:text> </xsl:text>" of a named template is not in the resulting html file.

What can I do to solve the pb ?

Thanks for your help

Cheers

Emmanuelle
