Re: help! setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace problem

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

Hi Sarah,

Whitespace text nodes are only ignorable if you have a DTD or schema with a
content model that's says there's no PCDATA in an element's content.
Otherwise, they are considered significant.

You could parse your documents using SAX, filter out the whitespace-only
text nodes, and build the DOM yourself.  You could also walk the DOM after
it's built and remove the whitespace nodes.

Hello! I am having trouble with the setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace command.
I
am using code like the following to set it up:

XercesDOMParser * parser = new XercesDOMParser;
parser->setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace(false);

Both me and my colleague have tried it and neither of us has gotten it to
work. Could you tell us what we are doing wrong? I have to be able to
accept
documents with spaces, as someone else writes them and they are not
directly
under my control.

Thanks

Sarah Leitner
