Hi Wendell, I think that is removed by step 3 in http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#stylesheet-stripping Best Regards, George -- George Cristian Bina <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com On 25/06/15 23:44, Wendell Piez wrote:

If it makes you feel any better, Wendell, I get the same output when I run this on itself in saxon[1] from the commandline. I get the expected whitespace node if I add <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
Yes, I suspect that Saxon or its parser is stripping the node for some reason. Thanks for helping to confirm it's not an oXygen thing.
The indent='yes' whitespace isn't actually the same ... it is inserted by the serializer. and for one reason and another, isn't really workable for me. (In the actual problem I am generating HTML output, and in mixed content in the result, no extra whitespace is inserted even with indent='yes'.)
I checked the Saxon -strip:none flag, which seems like it's supposed to prevent this (though I have no DTD); I wonder what's up with it.
Cheers, Wendell
Given this stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0">
<xsl:variable name="mixed" as="element()"> <mixed>Here is mixed content, including
<one>children</one> <two>with nothing</two>
but whitespace between them.</mixed> </xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$mixed"/> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node() | @*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I run it on itself in oXygen, and get
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><mixed>Here is mixed content, including
<one>children</one><two>with nothing</two>
but whitespace between them.</mixed>
I would expect whitespace between the </one><two>.
What am I missing? Have things changed wrt whitespace-handling rules?
(As I see it, the temporary tree $mixed should contain a whitespace-only text node between the 'one' and 'two' elements.)
