I'm running into something that might or might not be considered a bug in the way the Saxon linenumbering extension works.
Here's the setup: - I'm using Saxon and the latest stylesheets - The parameters are set up for line numbering (linenumbering.everyNth="1", use.extensions="1", and linenumbering.extension="1") - I'm using the following markup for a programlisting: <programlisting linenumbering="numbered"><xi:include href="file" parse="text"/></programlisting> When I do this, I get a numbered empty line after the last line in the file. I don't get this if I directly insert the content inline: <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">Line one Line two</programlisting> If I remove the final newline in the inserted file, this doesn't happen, so it's pretty clear the extension considers that last newline to indicate a new line to be numbered. The same thing happens if you put a newline before the closing </programlisting> in the second xml example above. So, the question is, should the extension treat a final newline this way? I'm inclined to think that it should not do this. It's not a big deal if your content is inline, but with xi:include, it means you need to manipulate your file to remove the newline character, which I suspect can cause problems if you're trying to use that content elsewhere (for example, to test a function). Any thoughts?
