Hello Philipp,
Until we add the option for stripping whitespace-only nodes in the
evaluation of expressions on the XPath toolbar you can use the following
XPath 2.0 expression which does the stripping:
//text()[string-length(translate(., ' 	
', '')) > 0]

Hello,
Saxon 9 has an option for stripping whitespace nodes but Oxygen allows
you to set it only for transformations (Preferences -> XML ->
XSLT-FO-XQuery -> XSLT -> Saxon -> Saxon-B/SA). If you set the above
option to strip whitespace nodes and you run an XSLT transform that uses
the expression //text() you can see that the list of nodes does not
contain such nodes. In the next version we will add this Saxon 9 option
for XPath expressions too.

Dear Oxygen-Users,
i am having a problem with an indented XML File. The File looks like
this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns="http://www.i-d-e.de/ns/1.0";>
<teiHeader>
<fileDesc>
<titleStmt>
<title>MS Einsiedeln</title>
</titleStmt>
<publicationStmt>
<p>publicationsStmt empty</p>
</publicationStmt><sourceDesc>
<p>sourceDesc empty</p>
</sourceDesc></fileDesc>
</teiHeader>
<text>
<body>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p><c>D</c>ie gotheit iſt beſloſſen<lb/>in dem

</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</text>
</TEI>
Now, using the following XPath 2.0 expression: //text(), the tabs are
returned as text-nodes, for example the first tab before the tag
<teiHeader>. In fact, my DTD does not allow #PCDATA inside <TEI>, but
the document is validated without any problems. To me this seems kind
of schizophrenic, or am I mistaken? Btw: the same file in XMLSpy with
its build-in xslt engine as well as MS XML parser with the same xPath
expression does not return the tabs as text-nodes.
Any ideas?
Philipp
PS: I am using Oxygen 9.3
