Friends,
I am encountering an odd whitespace-handling anomaly in BaseX when invoking Saxon to transform files behind RESTXQ.
Briefly, if I have this in my XSLT:
xsl:text </xsl:text>
(the common way to get a space character in my result)
I get nothing, and this
xsl:text Boo! </xsl:text>
gets me "Boo!" (leading and trailing whitespace trimmed).
But I can't duplicate this behavior running BaseX from the GUI.
I am sure there is a 'trim' or 'chop' setting somewhere that is allowing this, but I don't know where to look.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Wendell
Hello,
Please take a look at the CHOP database option, I guess that will fix it: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options#CHOP
Cheers, Dirk

Hi again,
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. The XSLT is not in the database; it is called from the file system.
I just checked, and I'm seeing the same behavior whether the database is created with 'chop' on or off. Again, this under RESTXQ; when calling the same XSLT from the GUI, everything is fine.
Cheers, Wendell

Hi Wendell,
do you have a little code snippet that allows us reproduce the problem?

Hi Christian,
Sure, try this:
declare %restxq:path("xslt-ws") %output:method("xml") function wap:xslt-ws() {
let $xml := <test/> let $xslt := <xsl:stylesheet version='2.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform%27%3E
<xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <h1> xsl:textWhat </xsl:text> <span>have </span> xsl:textwe </xsl:text> <span>here? </span> </h1> <p>Transforming with xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/</p> </body> </html> </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
return xslt:transform($xml,$xslt) };
Very interesting, too: I had some trouble at first reproducing the error -- when I made this dummy mockup, at first, restxq behaved correctly. I wondered whether it was a difference between xml and xhtml serialization, but then the symptom reappeared with either one.
Could some sort of caching be the culprit?
Thanks, Wendell

Hi Wendell,
as Dirk indicated, you may locally reset the CHOP value [1]:
return (# db:chop "no" #) { xslt:transform($xml,$xslt) }
Hope this helps, Christian

Christian,
Ah, I missed this syntax, thanks! It's exactly what I need.
Another problem down.
If I might suggest -- for us XSLT folks it would be a huge favor to offer this hint at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XSLT. As I keep stressing, we document folks are constantly having to fuss with whitespace and this is an important detail when using XSLT. (Which, I'm finding, is a huge power feature on top of XQuery.)
Cheers, Wendell
