I'm trying to process complex inline DITA content to text and at the
same time both process inline markup and strip excess whitespace that
comes from having the content in a pretty printed format.
I suppose a quick fix might be to go through and un=pretty the XML in a pre-pass. Anyone got something that does that? Currently, I'm trying to process these files as they are in XML and make nice text blocks in the converted content. I know that normalize-space() will strip the space from text, but it doesn't allow processing of the markup at the same time. So if I have a call like <xsl:apply-templates/> I get this when processing an <li> ====== * link:lnu1689300505181.dita[Step 3] * link:txr1689300527868.dita[Step 4] * Complete! * link:fkt1688690571816.dita[Show me the primary landing page] * link:fto1689306405929.dita[Show me tiles without descriptions] * link:https://example.com[Sample app]
====== If I change that call to <xsl:apply-templates select="normalize-space(.)"/> I get clean text, but now I'm missing the processing of the inline elements like these <xref>s ========= * Step 3 * Step 4 * Complete! * Show me the primary landing page * Show me tiles without descriptions * Sample app * Security Key =========== I've confirmed that deleting the whitespace is one possible way to correct this problem, just wondering if there is something else I can try. ..dan
