Hi Stephan,

Try <xsl:strip-space elements="tagA"/>.  This is a top level element, so it
must come after the <xsl:stylesheet> element.

Best regards,

Subject: whitespaces using xsl:copy-of


hi guys,

at the moment I'm writing a Transformer for Cocoon 2.0.4 and my problem is
as follows:

There are certain tags not touched by the xslt a step earlier in the
pipeline and I want to read them out. let's say the structure is:

<tagA>
    <sub/>
</tagA>

Now I simply use xsl:copy-of in my XSLT to copy tagA over in the output, so
I am able to read it out in the following Transformer step.
There I can search for tagA and make it a Node variable. I want to check
whether the first childnode of it is called "sub" or "seb".
When I just output all the childnodes of tagA with their names
(getNodeName()) I get
child1: "#text:     "
child2: "sub: ...."
child3: "#text:    "

well, it seems obvious that there are whitespaces before and after the sub
tag, which occur when using copy-of with an indented (a.k.a pretty-printed)
document.
 If i change the original to be like <tagA><sub/></tagA> sub is the first
and only childnode, otherwise not.

Now the question: Can I somehow get rid of whitespaces between tags when
copying tagA over to the output in my xslt?

Thanx for your help and I hope you got what i meant :P
