Section 7.2 clearly explains that "Literal data characters may also be wrapped in an xsl:text element. This wrapping may change what whitespace characters are stripped (see [3.4 Whitespace Stripping]) but does not affect how the characters are handled by the XSLT processor thereafter.", and the referenced section 3.4 explicitly says such whitespace-only text node is stripped: <quote> A text node is preserved if any of the following apply: * The element name of the parent of the text node is in the set of whitespace-preserving element names. * The text node contains at least one non-whitespace character. As in XML, a whitespace character is #x20, #x9, #xD or #xA. * An ancestor element of the text node has an xml:space attribute with a value of preserve, and no closer ancestor element has xml:space with a value of default. Otherwise, the text node is stripped. </quote> Moreover, .NET does remove such whitespace text. Here is a repro xsl: <xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:template match="/foo"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> and instance: <root /> If .NET still outputs whitespaces, then there is a bug *in .NET*, not in Mono. In such case, you should file a bug against Microsoft. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
