XSLT xml to xml simple question about formatting

[kbozek]

I have an XSLT transform that will create an XML to XML transformation
in the parent child format.

I really want to output the elements and attributes on a single line
such as:

<image name="car.jpg" size="5000" /><image type = "jpg" compression =
"20" />
....
....
<image name="talk.jpg" size="15000" /><image type = "jpg" compression
= "11" />
....
....

Yet, fooling around with the xsl:elements and xsl:attribute does not
quite get me there. Perhaps I am misunderstanding something in the
descriptions of elements and attributes. I've tried searching for the
answer but have come up blank so far.

Thanks.

Should be simple: Make sure you don't output any text nodes, and don't
turn on indendataion.

I'd bet you're inadvertantly copying whitespace from the source
document. But since you didn't show us an example that demonstrates the
problem, I can't tell you how to fix it.

Note that you shouldn't have to use xsl:element and xsl:attribute in
most cases...
