[Brett McLaughlin]

Try replacing <p> with <xsl:text> and see what happens.

Subject: [jdom-interest] Creating a pure text file using XSL


> I've asked this question on an XSL list, and now it's not clear to me
> whether it's an XSL issue, or an issue with my use of JDOM.  Here goes:
>
> I've got the following code snippet in my .XSL file:
>
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
> <xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
> <xsl:param name="FILENAME"/>
> <xsl:template match="page">
>      <xsl:choose>
>          <xsl:when test="$FILENAME != ''">
>              <p>http://YOURMACHINE/<xsl:value-of select="$FILENAME"/></p>
>          </xsl:when>
>          <xsl:otherwise>...
>
> It outputs something like:
>
> <p>http://YOURMACHINE/page1.html</p>
> <p>http://YOURMACHINE/page2.html</p>
> <p>http://YOURMACHINE/page3.html</p>
>
> But what I really want is just a plain text file containing one URL string
> per line, without the <p></p>, like:
>
> http://YOURMACHINE/page1.html
> http://YOURMACHINE/page2.html
> http://YOURMACHINE/page3.html
>
> (Again, these aren't HREF's. They're simply URL strings, with no XML/HTML
> markup around them.)
>
> Is this possible with XSL?
>
> Here's the relevant Java code using JDOM, in case that's where I'm doing
> something wrong:
>
>            JDOMSource source = new JDOMSource(new
Document(element.detach()));
>            JDOMResult result = new JDOMResult();
>            XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter("    ", true);
>            outputter.setTextNormalize(true);
>            outputter.setOmitDeclaration(true);
>            outputter.setNewlines(false);
>            transformer.setParameter("FILENAME", fileName);
>            transformer.transform(source, result);
>            outputter.output(result.getDocument(), packageFile);
>
> Finally, for reference, if I remove the <p></p> in my XSL file, I get a
> stack trace, which starts off like:
