Class WhitespacePolicy

public class WhitespacePolicy

WhitespacePolicy is a class defining the possible policies for handling whitespace text nodes in a source document.

Field Summary
static WhitespacePolicy PreserveAll

No whitespace is stripped

static WhitespacePolicy StripAll

All whitespace text nodes are stripped

static WhitespacePolicy StripIgnorable

Whitespace text nodes other than whitespace within mixed content are stripped. Note that whitespace in text-only content models is considered ignorable under this definition.

static WhitespacePolicy Unspecified

Unspecified means that no other value has been specifically requested

 

Constructor Summary
WhitespacePolicy (XsltPackage pack)

Construct the whitespace-stripping policy for a particular XSLT package, as defined by its xsl:strip-space and xsl:preserve-space declarations

 

Property Summary
 net.sf.saxon.om.SpaceStrippingRule Implementation

 

Method Summary
static WhitespacePolicy MakeCustomPolicy (Predicate<QName> elementTest)

Create a custom whitespace stripping policy, by supplying a predicate that indicates for any given element, whether whitespace text nodes among its children should be stripped or preserved. Note that this decision ignores any xml:space attributes that might be present, and the decision applies only to immediate children, not to descendants.

Method Detail

MakeCustomPolicy

public static WhitespacePolicy MakeCustomPolicy(Predicate<QName> elementTest)

Create a custom whitespace stripping policy, by supplying a predicate that indicates for any given element, whether whitespace text nodes among its children should be stripped or preserved.
