XSL Formatter Q&A

When the indent attribute is defined like <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> in stylesheet, the XSLT processor inserts the blank between tag and tag.

<fo:block><fo:wrapper><fo:inline>Hello</fo:inline></fo:wrapper>, world!</fo:block>

For instance, if indent-value is "yes" when such FO will be generated, these are indented by the XSLT processor as follows.

<fo:block>
    <fo:wrapper>
        <fo:inline>Hello</fo:inline>
    </fo:wrapper>, world!</fo:block>

In this case, the blank enters between "Hello" and "," in the formatting result.

The support of indent="yes" depends on the XSLT processor.

indent="yes" is not suitable in Style Sheet that generates XSL-FO. indent="no"should be defined.
