Re: [basex-talk] losing line breaks with xslt:transform(...)
Hi there, Setting CHOP=false in the .basex configuration solves my xslt issue but seems to have an ugly side-effect (bug?): Using basex commands in xml syntax is not working any more; if I call: basexclient.bat -c cmd.xml with the content of cmd.xml being (for example): <commands> <create-db name='xslt'/> </commands> it always returns " Syntax: <commands><...></commands>". Executing the same without CHOP=false in .basex works like a charm. Is there any chance this could be fixed?

Is there a possibility to disable chopping globally ? Our databases are either huge or contain text, but not both...
the easiest way is to set CHOP=false in your .basex configuration [1]. As Gerrit indicates, the chopping flag caused frequent problems in the past. Due to legacy and storage issues, we are still hesitant to simply change the default, but we are working on it. Best, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options

Hi Simon,
could you provide us with a minimized example that demonstrates the (mis)behavior?
Thanks in advance Christian ___________________________

Christian,
thanks for the hint, but no change for the better. I also tried with the basex-internal xslt-processor (instead of saxon) but resulted in the same problem.
Any ideas welcome...

Hi Simon,
not sure if that helps, but you can try to deactivate whitespace chopping in the prolog of your XQuery expression:
declare option db:chop "no"; ...

Hi,
I have small issue regarding the xslt:transform function (or what lies beneath). We are currently migrating a larger number of existing stylesheets into a basex-environment (before they were used with saxon on the filesystem).
The problem is, that all line breaks which are generated explicitly in the stylesheets (e.g. by using <xsl:text> </xsl:text>) get lost. Line feeds within a xsl:text element are correctly transformed. See below for the xslt and example output.
First we thought this might be linked to the whitespace chopping of the database where the transformation result is stored, however I get the same behavior when directly looking at the output of xslt:transform(...) in the basex-gui. Is there any options to influence this behavior? We are using saxon9 within basex version 7.6.
Thanks for your help Simon

<xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:text>block2 line1</xsl:text> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:text>block2 line2</xsl:text>

<xsl:text>block3 line1</xsl:text>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:text>block3 line2</xsl:text>
</Document> ....
------------------------------------ Result when running the stylesheet with saxon on the filesystem; All line break variants actually result in new lines: <Document> block1 zeile1 block1 zeile2 block2 zeile1 block2 zeile1 block3 zeile1 block3 zeile1 </Document> ----------------------------------
Result from calling xslt:transform in basex (saxon is used also within basex); Only the line break within the xsl:text is visible in the output: <Document> block1 line1 block1 line2block2 line1block2 line2block3 line1block3 line2 </Document> ----------------------------------

Hi Simon, I remember that there was such an issue with 7.6. Could you please see if it has been fixed in the 7.7 beta [1] (which will be final in a week)?

Hi, I can confirm that 7.7beta fixes the xml command problem described before. Unfortunately, our front-end (which works fine with 7.6) returns xquery errors with 7.7beta. I did not read the changelog and cannot check in detail right now (we have to get it running using 7.6), but I will come back to it when 7.7 is actually released. Thanks a lot for your help!
