Suppress line breaks within tags

Hello I'm having a problem with indenting when transforming a document with XSLT. Attributes are sometimes split into separate records. I receive ... <Tag Attrib1="value1" Attrib2="value2" Attrib3="value3/> ... but need this: ... <Tag Attrib1="value1" Attrib2="value2" Attrib3="value3/> ... I need to transform XML as input for an application with very poor xml-support. The application requires that all tags are on the same line. Is there a way to suppress the additional line breaks within a tag? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have implemented a serialization property to define the maximum line length, which will enable you to suppress this behaviour by setting the line length to a very large value. But this is for the next release. In the meantime your options are indentation or no-indentation, and if you choose indentation you have to take it as it comes. If you want to get into the detail, you can customize the Saxon serializer by subclassing its components - but a much better solution would be to change the downstream application so that it uses a real XML parser.

wow, thank you very much for your fast answer. Unfortunately the application cannot be changed. Is there any time line, when the next release is published resp. when the new serialization property is available in saxon-ee?

Is there any time line I've always avoided being date-driven. The release is ready when it's ready. Probably this summer some time.
