How do we display spaces inside XML tag

Legacy Contributor

Hi,

Hope everyone is doing fine.

I am receiving a value inside the XML tag with spaces (refer screenshot). After the transformation inside the XSLT mapper tag value displays with only one space but there was 4 

spaces before transformation. I even used <xsl:preserve-space elements="SKU"/> as well but no luck.

Input value

After transformation

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hi,

xsl:preserve-space or strip-space is a declaration at the top of your xsl stylesheet. It does concern elements, not what is included in tags. By default, <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> is set in the stylesheet and the purpose of the "Format" button in the "testing" tab is indeed allow indentation for better readability.

The only way to artificially add whitespace is to enclose them in <xsl:text>

Maybe could you share your sheet + one sample input so we could check on our side.
