Thanks for the reply Henry.
The input is HTML and am using following code for transformation
StringReader reader = new StringReader(htmlText);
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(reader);
StringReader reader = new StringReader(htmlText);
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(reader);
htmlToXmlTransformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc),
new StreamResult(resultStringWriter));
The attribute name attr1 was just an example. Yes, I think the attribute
value is getting normalized but XML Spy is able to preserve the extra white
spaces on transformation. Is there any way to tell parser to retain white
spaces?
