spaces are getting trimmed from content

[SmitaPatil]

Hi Team,
when I am inserting fragment using insertXMLFragmentSchemaAware method, space present in text content is getting trimmed.
Can you please tell if there is any to avoid it while using this method or any other method which will work better to insert string fragment in document.

Thanks & Regards,
Smita

Hi Smita,

Your spaces are inside the elements within your fragment, or around them? Could you please share the fragment?
If the spaces are inside an element, the element has the "white-space: pre" CSS property specified? Note that spaces are preserved only if the "white-space" property says so.

Hi again,

Do you encounter this problem if you insert the fragment manually in the text page (Edit as XML) and then switch to author mode? If after the switch you don't see whitespaces preserved inside the element, then check that you have the "white-space: pre" specified in the framework's CSS files.

Hi Bogdan,
I have tried by doing edit xml and adding following xml fragment

Code: Select all

<tgroup cols="3">
	<colspec colname="col1"/>
	<colspec colname="col2"/>
	<colspec colname="col3"/>
	<tbody>
		<row>
			<entry>
				<para>
					<paratext>check                   for                     space </paratext>
				</para>
			</entry>
			<entry/>
			<entry/>
		</row>
		<row>
			<entry/>
			<entry/>
			<entry/>
		</row>
	</tbody>
</tgroup>

but in author mode it is showing as below only one one white space and others are getting trimmed :

and for that css property for text inside entry is as below:

We don't want to loose any space from content while inserting fragment.
Please let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks & Regards,
Smita

You need to add the "white-space: pre" property in the CSS of your framework. The rule should be:

Code: Select all

paratext {
  white-space: pre;
}

The rule that you see in the browser applied to the rendering of the XML text node that is a child of the "paratext" element.
