XSl: whitespaces
I need to make sure that the whitespaces of my inline XML elements have the whitespaces around them, and not inside them :
some text <i>text in italic</i> some text and not
some text<i> text in italic </i>some text or some text<i> text in italic</i> some text or some text <i>text in italic </i> some text And that some elements (paragraphes, titles) do not have whitespaces after the opening tag or before the closing tag:
<p>some text</p> and not
<p> some text</p><!--or--> <p> some text </p><!--or--> <p> some text</p> I tried xsl:strip-space on the following XML:
<book> <appendix> <title>T<pc>itre</pc></title> <subtitle> <i> some text </i> </subtitle> <dev> <sect1> <title>R<pc>ésumé </pc></title> <p> some text</p> <sect2> <title>S<pc>ome text</pc></title> <p> some text </p> <p> some text</p> </sect2> </sect1> </dev> </appendix> but I do not quite understand how it works (on some elements it seems to work and not on others – works for subtitles but not for p-s with <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>). And I know it would not solve my problem with inline elements. Is there any way to do this in XSLT ? I can see how I could find the spaces in inline elements with regex but not how to place them outside the element afterwards.
Thank you. Maria
