just a few spaces?

[markSaunders]

hi, checked through the forum but haven't seen an answer to this (possibly) simple problem....

how on earth do i ensure that spaces are displayed in sections of my XML docs?

also, (maybe the same problem?) how do i display the

&nbsp

in order to ensure that blank cells in tables still display the borders?

any help greatfully received!

Hi.

Try the following:

An XML doc:

<myXML>
<chapter xml:space=&quot;preserve&quot;>The spaces are preserved here lots of spaces.
</chapter>
</myXML>

hi, thanks for the advice but i still cant seem to get it to work?

just to be sure i have tried:
in the .xml
[tt]
<mySpace xml:space = &quot;preserve&quot;>
The spaces are preserved here* *lots of spaces1.
</mySpace>
[/tt]

and in the .xsl
[tt]
<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot;

version=&quot;1.0&quot;>
<xslutput method=&quot;html&quot; indent=&quot;yes&quot;/>
<xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>
.
.
.
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;//summary/mySpace&quot;></xsl:value-of>
<mySpace xml:space = &quot;preserve&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;//summary/mySpace&quot;></xsl:value-of>
</mySpace>
[/tt]

i've tried it with and without the [tt]space = &quot;preserve&quot;[/tt] within the .xml document?

any more for anymore (please!!)...
