[oXygen-user] Potential IE whitespace issue in Oxygen

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Steven,

With the default settings and using the XML Accurate as algorithm I get 
294 differences between the two files.
Enabling the "Ignore whitespaces" option results in 10 differences.
Enabling also "Ignore expansion state for empty elements" gets no 
differences.

So, basically all the changes are in how empty elements are written.

oXygen does not apply any formating if you open a file in the Text page, 
unless you turn on "Format and indent the document on open". However, if 
you open the document in Author mode then oXygen will parse the document 
on open and will serialize it on save, that causing a formatting to be 
applied according with the format and indent settings. I suppose that 
happened in your case.
We are working to make the Author mode to keep the document part that 
was not changed as it was wrt formatting. Hopefully that will be 
available in the next maintenance release.

Best Regards,
George
