[oXygen-user] Whitespace Problem

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

The whitespaces including line breaks are normalized when the XML 
document is rendered in the Author mode. That means the line breaks 
between <orig>E</orig> and <reg>e</reg>, between <reg>e</reg> and 
</choice>, etc are replaced with a space character. If the Author mode 
removes them without replacing them with a space character then the new 
XML document is not the normalized version of the old one.

The only way to display "Der Eerwirdigen" in the Author mode is to 
remove the whitespaces yourself from the XML document before switching 
to the Author mode:


<p>
     Der
     <choice>
         <orig>E</orig><reg>e</reg></choice>rwirdigen in
     <choice>
     ...


Regards,
Sorin
