This is important because it preserves the spaces. When I use the command <xsl:text> it does
not preserve the spaces. Is there some way to get around this issue as an XSL editor?
xsl:text be recognized by the formatter as a Preserve space element
already. However, you can specifically tell it by adding the
xml:space="preserve" attribute to the xsl:text element.
Again, I think we have to fix the formatter issue bug that was described
earlier in the XML Formatter to fix this. If you are using another
formatter and doing reformatting with a stylesheet, you can and probably
should add xml:space="preserve" to the text elements. This article
should help a bit:

“  is not a legal character to have inside any XML, so that the formatter
stops formatting when hitting this charachter is no surprise. Any other
well-behaved xml-parser will also stop parsing the XML when hitting this.
Just try to open the file in any browser, and it will report illegal
character... IE will actually render the most of it, but will have
'error'-comment down to the left. Firefox will not display it at all.
If You should try to create a DOM-tree with Jdom, and try to insert this
character inside any element it would throw an exception at You.
In short; You will have to avoid this charcter inside any XML-document..

[wtp-dev] XSL formatter stops formatting
Please respond to
"General discussion of project-wide
or architectural issues."
<wtp-dev@eclipse.org>
The XSL formatter stops formatting when it encounters “ ”. This would
seem like a trivial issue but we have very complex XSLs. If I cannot get around
this issue I don’t think I will be able to use this tool for XSL editing. Is there
something I can do to resolve this issue in preferences? Am I posting this issue
to the correct place?
Thanks,
