[oXygen-user] Author : copy/past

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

It is not possible to have always the same whitespaces in Text mode 
after switching from Author mode to Text mode. For inline elements (the 
elements with display:inline in the CSS that drives the Author version 
of the document) the whitespaces are preserved but for block elements 
(the elements with display:block) the whitespaces are not preserved. The 
whole process is more complicated but mainly in the Author document 
model the whitespace only text nodes are stripped from the parent of a 
block element because a block element is always rendered as a separate 
block.

If you need consistent formatting for your XML documents you can set the 
pretty-print options to the desired set of values in Preferences -> 
Editor -> Format and Preferences -> Editor -> Format -> XML and apply 
the action Format and Indent to all your XML documents in Text mode 
before saving them. The save action of Author mode applies the same 
formatting algorithm to the edited XML document.


Regards,
Sorin

When I directly paste in the Text mode (and after change the option in menu Options -> Preferences -> Editor -> Format -> XML), the text appears on one line. Is it possible to have the same result in the both mode?
