spacing in XSLT, return char after each line? / last record separator removal

B

bjam

Hi,

I am hoping someone can help with this I am assuming it is pretty
basic but I don't see anything that jumps out at me at how to do this.
Is there a way to have all the items output from the style sheet appear
as a single line with no return chars?? When executing the following
style sheet, how can I concatenate the values together in a single
line, in this case a single line would be how the browser displays
this, but I want the general text output to be a single line as well.
Basically is there a way to have all these lines concatenated together
when being outputted by the style sheetinstead of having a return
character after each line? Also, is there a way to have the xslt know
to not produce the last pipe on the line??? Maybe some type of
following-sibling??
Thanks in advance for your help. I appreciate it.

Desired Ouptput (note last data element does not have pipe)
================

<html xmlns:rep="http://localhost:7001/reporting"><body><table
border="0"><tr><td>11006732.908899993|</td><td>7941634.67709|</td><td>3065098.23181004|</td><td>3065098.23181004|</td><td>11006732.908899993</td></tr></table></body></html>


The output I am getting
( returns in output and last data element does have pipe)
=======================

$ test_XSLT.pl ( this is just my perl code that translates XSLT)

<html xmlns:rep="http://localhost:7001/reporting"><body><table
border="0"><tr>
<td>11006732.908899993|</td>
<td>7941634.67709|</td>
<td>3065098.23181004|</td>
<td>3065098.23181004|</td>
<td>11006732.908899993|</td>
</tr></table></body></html>

END OF TEST ./test_XSLT.pl


Style sheet below
==================

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

XSLT never adds any characters on its own. any newlines in the output
are copied from the source or the stylesheet.
It isn't clear from your question wheter you are concerned about
newlines in the generated html (which render as a space in a browser) or
When executing the following
style sheet, how can I concatenate the values together in a single
line, in this case a single line would be how the browser displays
this, but I want the general text output to be a single line as well.

Basically is there a way to have all these lines concatenated together
when being outputted by the style sheetinstead of having a return
character after each line?

yes wrap it in
<xsl:if test="position()!=last()">
or
<xsl:if test="following-sibling::*">
or whatever you need.

David,

Hi I was interested in new lines in the generated output itself (the
actual html with tags that is showing not what the browser would
render), because ultimately I would not be using the html tags and just
removing them to have the text itself be a single line. Any ideas?
Also for the last character instead of the pipe it would be great to
acutally put a newline character in data string. Therefore ultimately
the data ( once I strip out the html tags would look as follows )


11006732.908899993|7941634.67709|3065098.23181004|3065098.23181004|11006732.908899993
(note newline would go here instead of pipe)

David,

Hi, thanks again for the positon()!=last() this seems to have worked
even though I had to play with it a bit. Also, setting the following
line seemed to fix a lot of the tagging issues I was experiencing

<xsl:eek:utput method = "text" />
