web forms: xsl indenting

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

This is a small thing that is bugging me, but it is bugging me nonetheless.  There is an attribute you can add to a web form that makes the resulting HTML have all the indentation you had used in your XSL template.

  <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"
      omit-xml-declaration="no"
      doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
      doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'/>

See the indent="yes".  Doesn't do anything.  Resulting HTML is all flat against the left side.  Is there anything I can do to change this?

Thanks.

Figured it out myself.  After digging through the code I was able to figure out that Alfresco is using Xalan as a transformer.  Because of that, I can add Xalan specific tags to my transformations - and they have an indent.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"            // Just add this
    exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml">
  <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"
      indent="yes"                                       // This does nothing
      xalan:indent-amount="4"                            // This is what works
      omit-xml-declaration="no"
      doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
      doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'/>
  <xsl:preserve-space elements="*"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>
