I'm having an issues using a custom XSLT. During parsing some spacing is being removed.

If I put this in my XSLT:

<div>Books and items by <xsl:value-of select="udt:FirstName" disable-output-escaping="yes" /> <xsl:value-of select="udt:LastName" disable-output-escaping="yes" />:</div>

Notice the space between the FirstName value and the LastName value.

When the page renders the space is gone. Also when I go back to edit the XSLT the space is also gone.

What's happening.

I also tried replacing the space with &nbsp; and I get the following error:

XSL Tranformation failed. ...
Error Description:Reference to undeclared entity 'nbsp'...

Again, what's going on? Aren't these legal moves? If not what should I be doing.

Also FYI. After this error the XSLT is not recoverable. Luckily I had the code in my clipboard. Please UDT team look into this.

Thanks

Ok. I tried the [ ]. But all I got was [ ] in the output. Then I realized that the [ ] characters needed to go into the HTML portion to get parsed into the XSLT. Once that was done I saw that it was replaced by &#160; so I used that where I needed it in the XSLT.

So this brings me back to my other issue. After the error I got while trying out &nbsp; in the XSL my content in the HTML textbox was wiped out and only the content in the XSLT textbox remained. So right now I have lost the ability to edit in the HTML textbox unless I want to recreate the HTML that I sued to create the XSLT.

Also, I am seeing that there is no way to edit Table attributes when you use the Table layout of the HTML design in the XSLT editor. If I edit the XSLT manually it will be overwritten the next time I generate from the HTML. This also makes the editor hard to work with. Just some point to improve a great module.

Thanks
