Hi Yves, You have two options to instruct Oxygen not to format and indent when you make modifications. 1) Go to the Oxygen Preferences->"Editor / Format / XML" page where you will find a list of "Preserve space elements". Add to that list the DITA root elements like "topic", "concept", "task"... 2) Open the CSS file:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/css_classed/dita.css
and add in it a CSS selector like:
*{ white-space:pre-wrap; }

Hi Radu
I open one of the task templates in OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\templates and, when I look at the topic in plain text view, I see this:
</step> <step> <cmd/> </step> </steps>
I remove the spaces before <step> and <cmd/> and I save and close the template.
When I create a new topic based on this template, and then add some new content, for example some extra steps, I see that these extra steps again get indented when I look at them in plain text view:
</step> <step> <cmd/> </step> </steps>
This is not what I want. I'd like to see:
</step> <step> <cmd/> </step> </steps>
Isn't there a way to change this in one of the oXygen preferences?
Kind regards
