XSLT and XML formatting

Question

Hi guys,

Quick question hopefully.  I have a xslt and xml file (serialised class).  Does anyone know the xslt commands/syntax which would allow me to display the xml without formatting.

 ie:

XML before:<xml><test>test</test></xml>

XML After:<xml><test>test</test></xml>

 

I have different XSLT files, which do different formatting, this is just a odd instance where I don;t want the xml to be formatted.  

 

Thank you.

 

Kelvin

For the .NET parser see this article in MSDN

"xmldoc= new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");

xmldoc.preserveWhiteSpace = true;

xmldoc.load(url);"

This is one more good explanation with good list of links to the main standards.

Well as long as the XSLT stylesheet has

  <xsl:output indent="no"/>

you shouldn't get any additional indentation or "formatting" by running the stylesheet on your XML.

That's all we can suggest without seeing details of the XSLT.
