Sergiu this is not the way it's implemented. Right now spaces are meaningful in xwiki, meaning that if a user puts several spaces we consider that they want to see several spaces. I'm pretty sure we've had this discussion in the past and it took me quite some time to implement this right so I hope we're not going to change it :) Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
