how will the parser treat the line break in an attribute value? 2003-01-17 - By dongjiang tang
Hi, I have am using XSLT to generate a HTML page with the data from XML stream.
One value I need is an attribute value which could be some text of mutiple line
, like <A atri1 = "line one
line two
line three" ></A>
after paring, seems like those line breaks are gone.
I read something online saying parser's default behaviors on the white spaces
are only defined for those between a start element tag and end element tag; it
does not apply for the other white spaces, like the one in attribute value, so
it might be just got trimed out.
can anybody confirm this ? also if this is true, is there any configuration I
can do to preserve those line break?
