Re: [basex-talk] Formatting attributes as an indented list?

15 Feb 2023


      Hi Christian,
Currently, I am using HTML tidy to reformat the XML output.  It gives me
the formatting I need, which is Git-diff friendly.

Hi Patrick
I noticed that the attributes for the wg element had not been aligned, so
I was wondering if you were thinking of a more advanced rule.
Or would you possibly like to supply the names of the elements for which
the alignment should take place?
Best,
Christian

Christian,
Ah, no, it isn't a length of element name + attribute but the ability to
align attributes for an element as you see in my post for the <w
element. Each key/value is followed by a line return.
In the mean time, the current version of tidy has been added to the
workflow to produce the desired results.
But it would be great to have it native to BaseX!
Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
There’s currently no serialization parameter to control the custom
indentation of attributes.
If I get you correctly, you’d like to get attributes indented if the
string length of the element name and the attributes exceed a specific
maximum length?
Best,
Christian

Greetings!
I've been tasked with using BaseX to produce:

       <wg class="cl" rule="S-IO" cltype="VerbElided">
          <wg rule="NpaNp" role="s">
             <wg type="group" appositioncontainer="true"

rule="Np-Appos">
...
...
                <w ref="PHM 1:1!1"
                   after=" "
                   class="noun"
                   gbiType="proper"
                   xml:id="n57001001001"
                   lemma="Παῦλος"
                   normalized="Παῦλος"
                   strong="3972"
                   number="singular"
                   gender="masculine"
                   case="nominative"
                   gloss="Paul"
                   domain="093001"
                   ln="93.294a"
                   morph="N-NSM"
                   unicode="Παῦλος">Παῦλος</w>


The indenting is easy enough and I can even make it deeper if required
but is there a command for serialization that will properly format the
attributes?
My personal suspicion is that inserting \n when each attribute is
serialized (and not on the last one) is the easier route but I promised
to investigate the command line.
Have I overlooked something in the very fine manual?
Hope everyone is having a great week!
Patrick
