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
------------------------------- Excerpt from example stylesheet: ... <Document> xsl:text block1 line1 block1 line2 </xsl:text>
xsl:text
</xsl:text> xsl:textblock2 line1</xsl:text> xsl:text
</xsl:text> xsl:textblock2 line2</xsl:text>
xsl:text </xsl:text>
xsl:textblock3 line1</xsl:text>
xsl:text </xsl:text>
xsl:textblock3 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> ----------------------------------
