[Sab] XSLT and whitespace

[Trevor Leffler]

What is the spec for whitespace in an XSL document?  sabcmd prints my
fields all squished together, so I tried adding a   and a funny
character (�) appears.

Here are some snippets:

---XML---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<schema table="blackbook">
        <field name="ID" type="int(10) unsigned" default="0" null="no"
auto_increment="yes"/>
        <field name="fname" type="varchar(30)" default="" null="no"/>
        <field name="lname" type="varchar(30)" default="" null="no"/>
        <field name="phone" type="varchar(20)"/>
        <field name="email" type="varchar(30)"/>
        <key field="ID" type="primary key"/>
</schema>

---XSL snippet---
        <xsl:template match="field">
                <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> <xsl:value-of select="@type"/>
                <xsl:if test="@default"> DEFAULT '<xsl:value-of select="@default"/>'
</xsl:if>
                <xsl:if test="@null = 'no'"> NOT NULL </xsl:if> ,
        </xsl:template>

---sabcmd output snippet---
IDint(10) unsigned DEFAULT '0'  NOT NULL  ,

Notice how "ID" and "int(10)" have no whitespace.  Here the output when
I use &nbsp;:

ID int(10) unsigned DEFAULT '0'  NOT NULL  ,

Any suggestions on how I put whitespace in there?  I've attached the
files for your perusal.

Just for comparison, Xalan doesn't honor the whitespace, but does output
the &nbsp; correctly.  And xslt-parser honors the whitespace and outputs
&nbsp; literally.

Thanks,
