Re: [xsl] HTML Tidy on FO files

[Jörg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

I think you don't need HTML Tidy. I would avoid it and try to make better 
XSL-FO output with Saxon/Xalan instead. Set the output-indent to no (this is 
standard too) and force your linebreaks where you want them by using 
<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>.

You seem to have some text-nodes with linebreaks in it in your XSL. If 'No 
linebreaks' stands in the XML already, use normalize-space() in your XSL.

Hope this helps,
