http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6256 New-line incorrectly generated for XML fragment Summary: New-line incorrectly generated for XML fragment Product: XalanJ2 Version: 2.2.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Xalan AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Xalan is incorrectly generating a new-line before an XML fragment. I am using the following stylesheet (notice the number 3 at the end of the line marked "NOTICE THIS NUMBER"). ---------------- BEGIN STYLESHEET --------------------- <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> <xsl:template name="total-numbers"> <xsl:param name="list"/>3<!-- NOTICE THIS NUMBER --> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:call-template name="total-numbers"> <xsl:with-param name="list" select="."/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ---------------- END STYLESHEET --------------------- If I use the following input, for example, ---------------- BEGIN INPUT --------------------- <numbers>12 34.5 18.2 -35</numbers> ---------------- END INPUT --------------------- The stylesheet should get output like this: ---------------- BEGIN OUTPUT --------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>3 ---------------- END OUTPUT --------------------- Instead, the stylesheet output is ---------------- BEGIN OUTPUT --------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 3 ---------------- END OUTPUT --------------------- The stylesheet used here is based on a stylesheet from Michael Kay's book "XSLT Programmer's Reference" (page 616 of the second edition), and Michael himself suggested that this output from Xalan is incorrect. As Michael pointed out, "Incidentally, I think it's got another bug as well: it shouldn't be outputting a newline after the XML declaration. The output here is an XML fragment, not a well-formed XML document, and the newline is therefore significant. You haven't asked for a newline here, so you shouldn't get one."
