Space in string in text template not output as element content
0%
Description
Using xslt3 of SaxonJS 2.5 from the command line with e.g. -json:sample1.json -xsl:sheet1.xsl, I find that the explicit blank for the third element is not output/serialized i.e. with xslt3 the (wrong) output is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Details>
<name indexarray="0">1</name>
<name indexarray="1">2</name>
<name indexarray="2"/>
</Details>
while SaxonCS gives the right output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Details>
<name indexarray="0">1</name>
<name indexarray="1">2</name>
<name indexarray="2"> </name>
</Details>
Even simpler test case -it -xsl:sheet2.xsl gives
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Test>
<Text1> </Text1>
<Text2/>
</Test>
with SaxonCS but misses the space with SaxonJS:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Test>
<Text1/>
<Text2/>
</Test>

Even with a SaxonCS compiled SEF xslt3 doesn't output the space character e.g. xslt3 -it -xsl:sheet2-saxoncsexport.xsl.sef.json gives
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Test>
<Text1/>
<Text2/>
</Test>

Interestingly enough SaxonJS 2.5/xslt3 manages to output the space with xsl:output indent="no" e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="3.0"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
expand-text="yes">
<xsl:output indent="no"/>
<xsl:template name="xsl:initial-template">
<Test>
<Text1>{' '}</Text1>
<Text2> </Text2>
</Test>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
does give me the wanted result <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Test><Text1> </Text1><Text2/></Test>.
So is the serializer somehow crunching the space?

Even the serialize function if used with the indent true option eats up the space so the following XSpec
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<x:description xmlns:x="http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/xspec"
xmlns:mf="http://example.com/mf"
stylesheet="text-value-template-and-serialization.xsl">
<x:scenario label="function mf:test2() returns element with space">
<x:call function="mf:test2"/>
<x:expect label="Element contains space" test="$x:result = ' '"/>
</x:scenario>
<x:scenario label="function mf:serialize-test2() without indentation returns element with space">
<x:call function="mf:serialize-test2">
<x:param select="false()"/>
</x:call>
<x:expect label="Element contains space" test="$x:result = '<function-result> </function-result>'"/>
</x:scenario>
<x:scenario label="function mf:serialize-test2() with indentation returns element with space">
<x:call function="mf:serialize-test2">
<x:param select="true()"/>
</x:call>
<x:expect label="Element contains space" test="$x:result = '<function-result> </function-result>'"/>
</x:scenario>
</x:description>
with XSLT being
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:mf="http://example.com/mf"
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
expand-text="yes"
version="3.0">
<xsl:function name="mf:test2" as="element()">
<function-result>{' '}</function-result>
</xsl:function>
<xsl:function name="mf:serialize-test2" as="xs:string">
<xsl:param name="indent" as="xs:boolean"/>
<xsl:sequence select="mf:test2() => serialize(map { 'method' : 'xml', 'indent' : $indent })"/>
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>
fails the last scenario x:scenario label="function mf:serialize-test2() with indentation returns element with space" with SaxonJS 2.5
