Hello!
Again I have a doubt with generating empty elements. Here by empty I mean that the element only contains whitespace (\s|\t|\r|\n). I hope you can provide some help. I use this spreadsheet view-source:http://xtek-solutions.net/burgundyridge/Viz/XML_TM/XLF_XLIFF_schemas/TMXtoTBX.xsl to turn omething like this <tu> <tuv xml:lang="es-es" changedate="20090824T155642Z" changeid="Transit"> <seg> <it></Title></it> <bpt i="1" type="struct"><Elt type='Groupbox' id='242' coor='0,0,412,112' style='50020007,0' class='#FF#0080'></bpt> </seg> </tuv> </tu> into <termEntry> <langSet xml:lang="es-es"> <ntig> <termGrp> <term> </term> </termGrp> </ntig> </langSet> </termEntry> The template (using select="node()" and not select=".") <xsl:template match="seg">
<term>
<xsl:value-of select="node()" />
</term>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>is well suited for the data that I have, as the output <term> element will only have content when the source element <seg> has text only (e.g. <seg>text</seg>), which is what I want, that is, I wouldn't want a <term> element with the content of the <seg> element you can see above (<it>, <bpt>, etc.). However a drawback of it is that empty elements are generated. In the example I provide above I would like to avoid generating the whole <termEntry> element if the <term> is only going to contain whitespace. I've tried using strip-space, but that affects the source, not the output. I've also found a template called copy-unless-empty (http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N3328.html#d4887e64), which is what I need, I guess, but I don't know how to use it (I've tried but...). If you could understand what I need ;) and you know how to help, could you drop a line? I'm using Saxon6.5.5 with XPath 1.0 in <oXygen/> XML editor. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
