Re: Does Xalan support the "indent" attribute?

Hi,

Yes, Xalan supportt the indent attribute, but for performance reasons the
default indent amount is 0.  See this link for information on setting the
indent amount:

I am using Xalan and Xerces to do XML transformations.
However, I cannot get Xalan to indent the XML target
document. Does Xalan support the <xsl:output
indent="yes"> attribute? If no, is there another way
to achieve indentation?

Here is the Java code I use for transformation:

File sourceFile = new File("TestSource.xml");
File stylesheetFile = new File("Test.xsl");
File targetFile = new File("TestTarget.xml");

Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTemplates(new
StreamSource(stylesheetFile)).newTransformer();

transformer.transform(new StreamSource(sourceFile),
new StreamResult(targetFile));


The TestSource.xml document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<table name="Product">
  <column name="ProductId" primaryKey="true"
required="true" type="INTEGER"/>
  <column name="ProductName" required="true"
type="VARCHAR" size="50"/>
  <column name="ProductDesc" required="true"
type="VARCHAR" size="400"/>
  <column name="ProductPrice" required="true"
type="FLOAT"/>
</table>


And the Test.XSL stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="table">
  <xsl:element name="table">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="column"/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="column">
  <xsl:element name="column">
    <xsl:attribute name="name">
      <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Any suggestions?
