[v2.8] ignoring white spaces within text-nodes

[Matthias Hopfer <Ma...@eureka.de>]

Hi there,

Is there any way to tell xerces to ignore whitespaces within text-nodes?

<IndxEvt  TimeStampEvt="2010-02-18 11:40:42">
vs
<IndxEvt TimeStampEvt="2010-02-18 11:40:42">

parser->setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace ( false );
parser->setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace ( true );

does make no difference.
Or is there any combination of features to be set?

Any hints?
-mh

PS: no validation scheme is used

hi Matthias,

I was having similar trouble. I suggest looking through the source code for
the examples bundled with xerces- such as DOMPrint, DOMCount. Those should
help you by prviding you with large amounts of code as well.

Thanks,

Sanat.

This is not whitespace in a text node, it's whitespace in markup. This 
kind of whitespace is not part of the infoset, and the parser doesn't 
distinguish between the two.

For the parser to know that whitespace is ignorable, you need a DTD that 
defines an element's content as element-only, and you need to validate 
the document with that DTD.
