[oXygen-user] Feature request: XPath notation for format and indent preserve- and strip-space

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello Gary,

Designating the preserve/strip space elements for the pretty-print 
operation with an XPath expression is not trivial to implement. However 
we added the request to our bugzilla, so that it will be considered for 
implementation in a future version. Please note that if it is 
implemented, only expressions with a correct XPath syntax will be 
allowed - (a|b):*, xxx:(a|b|c) are not valid XPath 1.0 or 2.0 expressions.

Feature requests and generally <oXygen/> related reports are welcome on 
any support channel: the <oXygen/> forum, this mailing list, the 
technical support form at http://www.oxygenxml.com/techSupport.html.


Best regards,
Sorin
