XSLT Formatting
The XMLSpectrum project was started with the primary goal of providing syntax-highlighting for XPath-family source code (XSLT, XQuery etc.) and leave the formatting exactly as in the source. However, when testing XMLSpectrum against many XSLT samples in the public domain, a significant number of formatting issues were found in the original source.
Issues in code formatting can severely impact the readability of the code - to the extent where syntax-highlighting becomes largely irrelevant. This is why a significant number of XML/XSLT formatting features are included in XMLSpectrum - along with the option to preserve the original formatting 'as-is'.
This page summarises the XSLT parameters used to control formatting of XML/XSLT by showing screenshots of the source code before and after reformatting/syntax-highlighting.
