Dear all, I share Ute's wish for a format-and-indent in the text mode that puts <lb> at the beginning of each line. xml:space does not seem satisfying to me because it prevents Oxygen from doing any format-and-indent. Find/replace is neither very elegant nor will it give the result Syd has described. I admit that the addition of whitespace in mixed content elements where no whitespace exists is generally critical (and I like Oxygen for not doing this!). However, any whitespace preceding or following an <lb> can be treated as insignificant. Even Oxy<lb break="no">gen Oxy <lb break="no">gen are equivalent, except that a little more processing is needed to extract the token "Oxygen" from such an encoding. So I find it responsible to allow Oxygen---on explicit request---to add whitespace befor <lb> elements. At least, it would be nice to get Oxygen to put all the <lb>s at the beginning of the line that *already have* whitespace before them. Best regards, Gerrit Am 28.10.2014 13:56, schrieb George Bina:
Thanks Andreas! This shows that "lb" handling is a lot more complex :).
Ute, is the use of xml:space enough for you to control this? To automate formatting you can normalize the element that contains the <lb/> occurrences on one line and then replace " <lb/>" with a new line followed by <lb/> using the find/replace in files and then you may also use indent/unindent selection (tab / Shoft+Tab) to indent that as you want.
