Hi Stefania,
You can avoid it if you create the DB with chopping switched off in the
first place.
Or you can supply the chopping option as you go:
db:replace('MyDB', 'doc.xml', ' stefy ', map {'chop':false()})
Whitespace chooping by default is maybe the most-detested design
decision in BaseX, at least among users of mixed content.
Luckily you can switch it off.

Hi all!
is there a way to preserve the beginning and ending spaces in the
Database xml elements?
In other words If I execute this xQuery
db:replace("MyDB", "doc.xml", " stefy ")
the resulted document will be
stefy
As you can see I lost my beginner and ending spaces.
thanks
Stefania
