could a line break be lost during parsing? 2003-01-17 - By dongjiang tang
Hi, thank you for the reply.
I was trying to add the <br> by a template as showed in the previous mail, but
did not get it.
I know the HTML will not show the line break, but I did look at the source of
that HTML page generated by my xsl template, I did not see the line break
either.

<xsl:template name="add-line-breaks">
<xsl:param name="string" select="." />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($string, '
')">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, '
')" />
<br />
<xsl:call-template name="add-line-breaks">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-after($string, '
')" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$string" />

It sounds like the XML parsing is preserving the line breaks (which it
should). You're probably losing them in the HTML formatting, which does not
preserve line breaks. If you want the breaks, you'll have to translate them to
<br> tags in HTML.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi,
I am generating a html page using XSLT.
I have a element with the value of mutiple line of text in a xml stream,
like below:
"line one
line two
line three"
I print it out right before the parsing:
System.out.println("XML = "+input.toString()) ;
reader.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(input.toString()))) ;
I confirmed the element value is just like above with line break
But in the html, I want to break it into mutiple line using the following
templates but DID not see the line break:
<xsl:template name="add-line-breaks">
<xsl:param name="string" select="." />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($string, '
')">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, '
')" />
<br />
<xsl:call-template name="add-line-breaks">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-after($string, '
')" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$string" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
then I added some debuging code in my xsl file to show the element directly
: <xsl:value-of select="@(protected)" /> (the @(protected) is the attribute holding that
string value), then I went to the source after I re-generated the HTML page, I
found that that element= "line one line two line three" without the line break
I feel somehow I lost the line break during the parsing.
Am I right about this? if yes, is there any confirguration to avoid this?
thank you !!
