Hello,

Saxon 9 has an option for stripping whitespace nodes but Oxygen allows you to set it only for transformations (Preferences -> XML -> XSLT-FO-XQuery -> XSLT -> Saxon -> Saxon-B/SA). If you set the above option to strip whitespace nodes and you run an XSLT transform that uses the expression //text() you can see that the list of nodes does not contain such nodes. In the next version we will add this Saxon 9 option for XPath expressions too.


Regards,
Sorin

Dear Oxygen-Users,

i am having a problem with an indented XML File. The File looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns="http://www.i-d-e.de/ns/1.0";>
    <teiHeader>
        <fileDesc>
            <titleStmt>
                <title>MS Einsiedeln</title>
            </titleStmt>
            <publicationStmt>
                <p>publicationsStmt empty</p>
            </publicationStmt><sourceDesc>
                <p>sourceDesc empty</p>
            </sourceDesc></fileDesc>
    </teiHeader>
    <text>
        <body>
            <div>
                <div>
                    <div>
<p><c>D</c>ie gotheit iſt beſloſſen<lb/>in dem vater n<ex>atur</ex>elich dar<lb/>vmbe iſt er alvermvgende<lb/>vnd enpfat niht von ite<lb />des<gap reason=""/> er ſelber nit en iſt an<lb/>ſiner go<unclear >tl</unclear>icher macht wan<lb/>ers weſelich i<ex>n</ex> ime vnd an<lb/>ime ſelben beſloſſen hat<space unit="letters" quantity="1"
                        /></p>
   </div>
     </div>
       </div>
    </body>
  </text>
</TEI>

Now, using the following XPath 2.0 expression: //text(), the tabs are returned as text-nodes, for example the first tab before the tag <teiHeader>. In fact, my DTD does not allow #PCDATA inside <TEI>, but the document is validated without any problems. To me this seems kind of schizophrenic, or am I mistaken? Btw: the same file in XMLSpy with its build-in xslt engine as well as MS XML parser with the same xPath expression does not return the tabs as text-nodes.

Any ideas?
Philipp

PS: I am using Oxygen 9.3
