Hi,
I have an issue with spaces in mixed content, when applying the xslt:transform command. I have been working around it for months with a hack in my css that puts the spaces back as   on inline elements, yet I still haven't run upon a clue to help me resolve this for good the clean way.
IN SUMMARY
- The xslt applied to my xml outside the BaseX environment (Oxygen + Saxon) gets me right html content (with spaces for inline elements in mixed content) - The query, when it returns the XML file from BaseX, shows that the XML file still has its spaces. - When the xslt is applied to the XML file from BaseX (Using Saxon), with the BaseX XSLT module, spaces disappear around inline elements in mixed content.
IN DETAILS
I have mixed content in a file. Ex. <p>Text <i>italic</i> more text.</p>.
I have this function:;
declare %rest:path("/how2-html-topic/{$id}/{$menu-id}")
%rest:GET
function topic:html-get-how2-topic($id as xs:string, $menu-id as xs:string) as node()*{
let $x := topic:xml-get-how2-topic($id)
let $params := map{ "menucontext" := $menu-id}
let $stylesheet := doc(concat($app:xslt_html_topic, 't'))
return xslt:transform($x, $stylesheet, $params)
};
My access a web page runs this query. Result (lost spaces): <p>Text<i>italic</i>more text.</p>
- Note: The content has been uploaded with chop spaces = false - The xquery module specifies: declare boundary-space preserve; declare option db:chop 'no'
If I get the same content without applying the xslt:transform, I get the xml with all the right spaces:
declare %rest:path("/how2-html-topic/{$id}/{$menu-id}") %rest:GET function topic:html-get-how2-topic($id as xs:string, $menu-id as xs:string) as node()*{ let $x := topic:xml-get-how2-topic($id) let $params := map{ "menucontext" := $menu-id} let $stylesheet := doc(concat($app:xslt_html_topic, 't')) (: return xslt:transform($x, $stylesheet, $params) :) return $x };
Maybe I am missing some config details for the xslt module, in BaseX? In XLST? My xslt sets the output as follow:
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>
