## net.sf.saxon.style
Class StylesheetStripper

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceReceiver
          net.sf.saxon.event.ProxyReceiver
              net.sf.saxon.event.Stripper

All Implemented Interfaces:
  javax.xml.transform.Result, Receiver

    public class StylesheetStripper

extends Stripper

The StylesheetStripper refines the Stripper class to do stripping of whitespace nodes on a stylesheet. This is handled specially (a) because it is done at compile time, so there is no Controller available, and (b) because the rules are very simple

Constructor Detail

### StylesheetStripper

    public StylesheetStripper()

Method Detail

### getAnother

    public Stripper getAnother()

  Description copied from class: `Stripper`
  Get a clean copy of this stripper

  Overrides:
    `getAnother` in class `Stripper`

### isSpacePreserving

    public byte isSpacePreserving(int nameCode)

  Decide whether an element is in the set of white-space preserving element types

  Overrides:
    `isSpacePreserving` in class `Stripper`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - identifies the element being tested
  Returns:
    ALWAYS_PRESERVE if the element is in the set of white-space preserving element types, ALWAYS_STRIP if the element is to be stripped regardless of the xml:space setting, and STRIP_DEFAULT otherwise

### isSpacePreserving

    public byte isSpacePreserving(NodeInfo element)
                           throws XPathException

  Decide whether an element is in the set of white-space preserving element types. This version of the method is useful in cases where getting the namecode of the element is potentially expensive, e.g. with DOM nodes.

  Overrides:
    `isSpacePreserving` in class `Stripper`
  Parameters:
    `element` - Identifies the element whose whitespace is possibly to be preserved
  Returns:
    true if the element is in the set of white-space preserving element types
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
