news:eQ**************@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... Apparently .NET strips these white space characters (MSXML doesn't)
regardless of what the output method is set to. I'm using
<xsl:text> </xsl:text> to output a tab character and
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text> to output a carriage return and line
feed but they get stripped at some point. I'm passing a StringWriter to the
XslTransform.Transform method. Anyway to get this to actually output
the tab and carriage and line feed characters?
If you include whitespace or carriage return inside <xsl:text> constructs,
this is considered significant whitespace and will not get stripped unless
you have a <xsl:strip-space> in your xslt file.I'm not able to repro this
scenario with StringWriter. Could you please provide more details.
thanks,
swapna
What other detail would you like? I'm tranforming like this:
StringWriter xsw = new StringWriter();
m_Transform.Transform(m_DataDocument, null, xsw, null);
It strips my characters everytime and I've tried different xsl:output
settings to get it to preserve them. I don not have <xsl:strip-space> in my
document.
