Turn off 'pretty print' output from XLST processor

Question

How do I turn-off the "pretty-print" type output that the XSLT processor seems to generate? The XSLT processor seems intent on generating very pretty xml markup, all nicely indented. The problem is that if the markup is XHTML and you are feeding it to browsers they render things quite differently based on the white space between tags...annoying, but true. I have struggled with every swicth I could find on the parsers/processor or embedded in tags in the XSLT files....but nothing seems to work. All I want to do is have the markup I have created in the XSLT template be output 'as is' with the exception of any <xsl:> tag data substitution. How do I do this so things render correctly in my browser i.e maintain the white space and formatting I used in creating the XHTML tags?

Answer 1

The only way that <xsl:output indent="no"> can behave as you are seeing is:
(1) You're using a release before 2.0.2.6
(2) Your program calls the processXSL()
that returns a DocumentFragment instead
of the one that writes to a PrintWriter
(3) You are using our .\sample\XSLSample
program which calls the processXSL
to get a DocumentFragment (not the
one that writes to the PrintWriter)
Are you saying that our command-line oraxsl
for version 2.0.2.6 on your stylesheet
which includes <xsl:output> in the correct location in the stylesheet (outside of
any template but inside the "top-level"
<xsl:stylesheet> element) is not
working properly? If so, will need
a simple testcase.
