Re: [libxml-devel] Strange node being created from white space

[Charlie Savage]

I am experiencing some problems when constructing a document piece by piece. I have boiled downed the problem to the following code:

require 'rubygems'
require 'xml/libxml'

# Envelope XML
xml_string = %{<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope
   xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
</soapenv:Envelope>}

# Create Document

parser = XML::Parser.string(xml_string, :options => XML::Parser::Options::NOBLANKS)

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2007-November/msg00022.html

What happens if you first call XML.default_keep_blanks = false? Should do the same thing as the parser option, but worth a quick double check. And also, take a look at this message from the libxml creator. He strongly discourages the use of NOBLANKS.
