[xep-support] Element 'fo:external-graphic' and 'fo:page-number-citation' must be empty errors

[arian hojat]

hmmm how would i approach an xsl rule like this so it doesnt create the 
extra whitespace....


<xsl:template match="image">
<fo:external-graphic>

<xsl:if test="@border-style"><xsl:attribute 
name="border-style"><xsl:value-of 
select="@border-style"/></xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@border-color"><xsl:attribute 
name="border-color"><xsl:value-of 
select="@border-color"/></xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@border-width"><xsl:attribute 
name="border-width"><xsl:value-of 
select="@border-width"/></xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@padding"><xsl:attribute name="padding"><xsl:value-of 
select="@padding"/></xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@margin"><xsl:attribute name="margin"><xsl:value-of 
select="@margin"/></xsl:attribute></xsl:if>

<xsl:attribute name="src">url('<xsl:value-of 
select="@fileName"/>')</xsl:attribute>

</fo:external-graphic>
</xsl:template>
