Hi all, I'm using baseX 7.9 with GUI My query declares an chop option set to "no" ("declare option db:chop 'no';") and uses "return xslt:transform($in, $style)". But after running it, all the white-spaces in the xslt rules are chopped. for example the space in "<xsl:text> </xsl:text>" of a named template is not in the resulting html file. What can I do to solve the pb ? Thanks for your help Cheers Emmanuelle

Hi Emmanuelle, Could you please check if the problem has already been solved in Version 8.0 [1]? If not, could you possibly provide us with a small example? Thanks in advance, Christian [1] http://files.basex.org/releases/latest

Hi Christian, The pb seems to still be the same. Please find attached : - the xml file for the database (my_biblio.xml) - the query I want a space between the title and the publication year, which should be provided by the <xsl:text> </xsl:text> of the named template :

<xsl:template name="publicationDate">
         <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="monogr/imprint/date/@when"/>
     </xsl:template>

so the result should be :

  <span class="title">Khartoum Greek</span>, 2003</li>

but the result is

<span class="title">Khartoum Greek</span>,2003</li>

Thanks in advance best emmanuelle

What about

     <xsl:text xml:space="preserve"> </xsl:text>

? Anyway, I would suggest using something like

     <xsl:variable name="char-space"
         xml:space="preserve"><xsl:text>&#32;</xsl:text></xsl:variable>

and

     <xsl:value-of select="$char-space"/>

So that it is easier to understand which character is being added and there are less chances that the various formatters will mangle the code. Regards,

Hi Emmanuelle, Gioele already gave you the answer (thanks): You need to explicitly encode the whitespace in one of the following ways:

  <xsl:text>&#32;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:text>&#x20;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:text><![CDATA[ ]]></xsl:text>
  <xsl:text>{ ' ' }</xsl:text>

The reason is that XQuery ignores empty text nodes, no matter what option you choose (unfortunately, even xml:space won't help, and db:chop only applies to BaseX document or database instances). As an alternative, you can store the XSLT document in a file. Best, Christian
