RE: [wtp-dev] XSL formatter stops formatting
|
Actually this will not work. Why? HTML ignores multiple spaces.
Example: If you do " " you will only get one space. When you use
  it actually puts in a . There is a big difference.
I will keep an eye out in hopes that you will decide to make this a
priority.
Thanks,
Lance

When I use the command <xsl:text> it does not preserve the spaces. Is
there some way to get around this issue as an XSL editor?

xsl:text be recognized by the formatter as a Preserve space element
already. However, you can specifically tell it by adding the
xml:space="preserve" attribute to the xsl:text element.
Again, I think we have to fix the formatter issue bug that was described
earlier in the XML Formatter to fix this. If you are using another
formatter and doing reformatting with a stylesheet, you can and probably
should add xml:space="preserve" to the text elements. This article
should help a bit:

Any other well-behaved xml-parser will also stop parsing the XML when
hitting this.

would seem like a trivial issue but we have very complex XSLs. If I
cannot get around this issue I don't think I will be able to use this
tool for XSL editing. Is there something I can do to resolve this issue
in preferences? Am I posting this issue to the correct place?
