This must be a FAQ but I can't seem to find the answer in the wiki or the archives...
How do I configure the XMLSerializer to preserve whitespace?
Here's my test case: Given an XML doc test.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <text>Some text with spaces</text>
I use an XSLT stylesheet text.xsl:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:preserve-space elements="text"/>
<xsl:template match="text">
<new-text><xsl:apply-templates/></new-text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>With this pipeline the extra whitespace is removed:
<map:match pattern="text.xml">
<map:generate src="text.xml"/>
<map:transform src="style/text.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>Changing to the TextSerializer preserves the whitespace. Can I control this behavior for the XMLSerializer?
Thanks for any help, Steve
