Example XML: <Body state="draft">The <Variable>6</Variable> foot tall man walked down <Variable>5th</Variable> street.</Body>
Transforming the above "mixed mode" XML with the XSL below using org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process (Xalan 2.4.1), produces: <fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; white-space-collapse="false" hyphenation-remain-character-count="2" hyphenation-push-character-count="2" hyphenate="true" country="US" language="en" font-size="10pt" space-after.optimum="5pt">The <fo:inline color="#008080" font-style="italic" font-weight="bold">6</fo:inline> foot tall man walked down <fo:inline color="#008080" font-style="italic" font-weight="bold">5th</fo:inline> street.</fo:block> However, using either of the transformer factories (org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl, org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl) embedded in my application to create a transformer produces a new line and tab immediately before the <fo:inline> output elements. I need to understand why this is happening because it is highly undesireable. Can anyone tell me if something is configured improperly, or what is causing this? Thanks for the help. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8"/> <xsl:attribute-set name="variable"> <!--xsl:attribute name="background-color">#008080</xsl:attribute--> <xsl:attribute name="color">#008080</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-style">italic</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> <xsl:template match="Body"> <xsl:variable name="state" select="@state"/> <fo:block space-after.optimum="5pt" font-size="10pt" language="en" country="US" hyphenate="true" hyphenation-push-character-count="2" hyphenation-remain-character-count="2" white-space-collapse="false"> <xsl:call-template name="substitute"> <xsl:with-param name="state" select="$state"/> </xsl:call-template> </fo:block> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="substitute"> <xsl:param name="state"/> <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:with-param name="state" select="$state"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Variable"> <xsl:param name="state"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$state = 'final'"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="variable"><xsl:value-of select="."/></fo:inline> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This electronic transmission is strictly confidential to Smith & Nephew and intended solely for the addressee.
