I am having problems transforming a xml doc into html with proper
indenting.
Here is the xslt
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xslt"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl
utput method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"
xalan:indent-amount="4"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"/>
<!--
***************************************************************
** Top level template. Creates the framework for the XHTML page
************************************************************-->
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>XSLT page generation</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/pageData"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<!--
***************************************************************
** pageData element
************************************************************-->
<xsl:template match="pageData">
<h3>Your Page...</h3>
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<!--
***************************************************************
** Output a section
************************************************************-->
<xsl:template
match="section">
<tr>
<td>
<span id="{@name}">
<b><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></b>
</span>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is the sample input:
<pageData>
<section name="first section">This is first section!!</section>
<section name="second section">This is the second
section!</section></pageData>
Here is the output, which is not indented properly
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>XSLT page generation</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Your Page...</h3>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<span id="first section">
<b>first section</b>
</span>
</td>
<td>This is first section!!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span id="second section">
<b>second section</b>
</span>
</td>
<td>This is the second section!</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The <tr> at the beginning of each section is not indented for some
reasons.
I also noticed that if my input contains extra spaces or line breaks
outside the <section>, they will affect the formatting as well.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
