Message: [QUOTE="hongping, post: 769494"] 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="[URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform[/URL]" xmlns:xalan="[URL]http://xml.apache.org/xslt[/URL]" xmlns="[URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/URL]"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" xalan:indent-amount="4" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" doctype-system="[URL]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd[/URL]"/>  <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>XSLT page generation</title> </head> <body> <xsl:apply-templates select="/pageData"/> </body> </html> </xsl:template>  <xsl:template match="pageData"> <h3>Your Page...</h3> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </table> </xsl:template>  <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" "[URL]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd[/URL]"> <html xmlns="[URL]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/URL]"> <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, Hongping [/QUOTE]
