Topic: Displaying characters in multiple lines in browser using java dom+xml+xsl+html (Page 1 of 1)

Hi i am using xml and xsl to display characters in multiple lines
the text content is like this "mm\r\nkk\r\njj" but i am unable to display this characters in multiple lines like below in the browser

mm
kk
jj

actually in our java class we are creating textnode for the above text using document object like doc.createTextnode("mm\r\nkk\r\njj")
in xsl we are reading this data as <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>

could anybody suggest me how to display characters in multiple lines using xsl in the browser.


Naresh.

Well, either wrap them in a <pre>, or have the xsl transform the \n to a <br>...

Thanks for your reply Prime. If i was trying to replace \n with <br> in the java code which generates xml content for xsl then browser is displaying <br> as it is with textcontent. Prime could you please give me an example.

please help me in this

hello nimall,

this is a forum, not a one stop help stop.
You've not given us enough information to figure out the best way to do it.
My guess would be your xml generator (correctly) encodes your tags,
so you can't inject html at this stage.

Google suggests this link: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/199908/msg00501.html
but you could create a paragraph node per , well not line, but paragraph, in java.
or do a

for (String line: text.split("\n")
{
 doc.createTextNode(line);
 doc.createNode("<br>");  
}

I have the feeling you should start reading about this web stuff at the beginning.

So long,
