[oXygen-user] Re: Whitespace Problem

15 Aug 2008

      Hi,

thanks for your answer, Sorin. I understand Oxygen Author-Mode is not 
able to do what i want, but i think it
should be! There should be an option telling the renderer to just ignore 
line-breaks. I fail to see any reason why
the transformation into whitespaces is necessary. Can this be added to 
the feature request list?

Best,
Philipp

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

Hello!
i am having a problem with white-spaces in Author mode. Here is what my 
XML document looks like at the problematic passage:
<p>
                Der
                <choice>
                    <orig>E</orig>
                    <reg>e</reg>
                </choice>
            rwirdigen in
                <choice>
                    <orig>G</orig>
                    <reg>g</reg>
                </choice>
            </p>
Now in Author mode, the linebreaks are transformed into whitespace, so 
that the first part looks like "Der E e rwirdigen in" etc. But i would
like to have it look like "Der Eerwirdigen" etc. <p> has the display 
property: block, <choice>, <orig> and <reg> have display property inline,
and i think that exactly is the problem, because the manual says that if 
the display-property is inline, non-whitespace (which my linebreak is, i 
suppose) are transformed into normal white space.
Is there any way to have oxygen ignore the linebreak?
Thank you very much,
Philipp
