Subject: Re: [docbook] \r\n becomes when generating XHTML (for ePub)
It isn't the stylesheet, it is the processor. The serializer in the processor that generates the output bases its behavior on the "method" attribute in xsl:output. It is the <xsl:output method="html"/> that makes the difference for the html stylesheet. In the xhtml stylesheet, there is <xsl:output method="xml"/> instead. In the case of "html", the output is actually SGML, which is what the original HTML was based on. As I mentioned, it isn't that the html stylesheet removes the \r characters, it just presents them in the output differently. The html stylesheet outputs "^M" (Ctrl-M) while the xhtml stylesheet outputs " ", and those are treated differently by the epub browser, it seems.

Then it's not the tool but the stylesheet? The html stylesheet seems to remove those characters while the xhtml stylesheet doesn't? It sounds strange though that the output is different - is there a reason? And if the html stylesheet removes it should be possible to customize the xhtml stylesheet to do the same? Boris > [...]
