RE: Newline problems

[Vishwajit Pantvaidya]

Yes, I did, but that did not work. The reason I feel is that, from my 
understanding of xsl:strip-space, it eliminates the standalone white space 
from the document tree. But here the whitespace is actually embedded in the 
value of an element, which is why I believe it did not work in my case.

Thanks,

Subject: Newline problems
I am using xalan for xml to xml transformation. Input xml string has
some DOS carriage return and/or line feeds introduced by the source
application. The source xml string that I was trying to transform is
like
(exactly as is, including newlines)
<!DOCTYPE ABC [
...
]><ABC>
...
<attr>
value</attr>
...
</ABC>
i.e. the newline was probably getting included in the value of the
element
"attr". Would such newlines yield the empty output xml I was getting?
Xsl-strip space did not help. Finally, I had to write java code to strip
the
newlines from the source xml and then I started getting output xml
correctly.
Our xsl is like
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version = "1.0">
<xsl:template match = "ABC">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!DOCTYPE
OrderProcessing&gt;</xsl:text>
...
<xsl:template mode = "Attribs" match = "ctrInfo">
              <xsl:element name="ADDR">
                <xsl:value-of
select="attribute/atomicValue[../name='ADDR']"/>
              </xsl:element>
Please help...
