XSLT: Version 1.0
Processor: Xalan-C_1_8_0-windows_2000-msvc_60
/xerces-c_2_5_0-windows_nt-msvc_60
Platform: Windows XP
Command: xalan -i 1 -o Output.xml input.xml file.xsl
I am unable to find the difference by using the above command with -i
or
without -i
Could any one explain.
The -i option is ignored for XML output unless you have an xsl:output
instruction with the indent attribute specified:
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
The XSLT recommendation explicitly states that indentation is disabled
by default for XML output:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-XML-Output-Method
"If the indent attribute has the value yes, then the xml output method
may output whitespace in addition to the whitespace in the result tree
(possibly based on whitespace stripped from either the source document
or the stylesheet) in order to indent the result nicely; if the indent
attribute has the value no, it should not output any additional
whitespace. The default value is no. The xml output method should use an
algorithm to output additional whitespace that ensures that the result
if whitespace were to be stripped from the output using the process
described in [3.4 Whitespace Stripping] with the set of
whitespace-preserving elements consisting of just xsl:text would be the
same when additional whitespace is output as when additional whitespace
is not output."
