<egXML> in ODD to XHTML

Until March 2022, a multi-line example of XML coding wrapped in <egXML> ... </egXML> in the ODD file had every new line left-aligned when displayed in XHTML. Now, using TEI P5 16.0.0, such examples are displayed with only the first line at the left edge and all subsequent lines hugely indented by 20 spaces. Alex Jitianu of Oxygen tells me 'It looks like it's something introduced in the 7.53.0 which comes bundled into the 16.0.0. addon'. A simple example is given below, before and after. Please can this be corrected. Thanks David Denison

@ddenison-man — Can you post the ODD source to the snippet above? Is it an <egXML> child of a <elementSpec> (or similar), or inside a paragraph or some such? Thanks.

Tests so far:

Run against 7.52.0 with commandline roma: no problem
Run against released with commandline roma: no problem
Run with oXygen (using latest plug-in, I think): PROBLEM
Run via 7.52.0/bin/teitohtml: no problem
Run via released/bin/teitohtml: PROBLEM

I must admit, I find that combination somewhat confusing. In any case, where it says PROBLEM I found the same ugly indentation @ddenison-man reports in <egXML> when a child of <p> in the prose or in schemaSpec/elementSpec/exemplum.

@ddenison-man — you can ignore my query, above. This ticket will probably be assigned this coming Wed 01 Jun.

It's just as a child of

following a

in the discursive part of the schema, but it makes no difference whether the example is moved inside

or not:

I.e., the following, right?

I have created a tiny ODD file for testing this. Note that I have appended a “.txt” extension so that GitHub will not think it a malicious file.

Dear Syd (if I may),

Your test file exhibits exactly the same behaviour as my long schema, giving the ugly indents from l.2 onwards with the latest stylesheets, but displaying fine with the previous stylesheets.

I apologise for giving the ODD source of a different snippet, an earlier selection that was messier than the one I sent screenshots of to this list. As far as I can see, you've got the code right.

Thanks for the speedy response.

best David

No worries! I hope we can fix this before the next release, it is really quite ugly.

@bleekere and I assigned this to @sabineseifert (and @peterstadler:-) for the task of finding out what changed in the code between last release and now that caused this problem.

Just did some debugging and it seems to me the root cause (i.e. the major change from v7.52.0 to v7.53.0) is the changed HTML output serialization. If I remember correctly, we decided to align html5 and html outputs (setting html5 as default) and in this course various xsl:output elements have been updated, including the addition of indent="yes", see e.g. 89f1a9d.

@HelenaSabel I don't know whether the introduction of the @indent attribute was simply to beautify the output? If so, we could simply remove it (the indent="yes" attribute) again (or explicitly set it to "no") to fix the issue at hand.

Yes, the introduction of @indent was just aesthetic.
I think setting the attribute @indent to "no" is a more robust approach (in case there are some default serialization behaviors).

I will send in a PR asap
