XSLT <xsl:preserve-space> and <xsl:strip-space> Elements

Definition and Usage

The <xsl:preserve-space> element is used to define elements that should preserve whitespace.

The <xsl:strip-space> element is used to define elements that should have whitespace removed.

Note: Preserving whitespace is the default setting, so the <xsl:preserve-space> element is only necessary when the <xsl:strip-space> element is used.

Note: Both <xsl:preserve-space> and <xsl:strip-space> elements are top-level elements.
