Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Query
/ Bob Stayton <bobs@caldera.com> was heard to say: | I don't believe the DocBook XSL stylesheets are generating | those spaces. When I use xsltproc on those tags, | no extra spaces are generated. Is this perhaps a | bug with the way IE5 handles the stylesheet | processing? I think it may be. I vaguely recall that when I was working on the XMLSpec stylesheets for the W3C, someone reported that IE5 turned <xsl:template match="XXX"> <tag> <xsl:apply-templates/> </tag> </xsl:template> into "<tag> content</tag>" (or something like that) but <xsl:template match="XXX"> <tag><xsl:apply-templates/></tag> </xsl:template> rendered correctly. This is a bug, plain and simple. I have no plans to change the stylesheets to work around this bug. The former style is more readable (IMHO) and easier to maintain.
