xml:space
Synopsis
The &xml:space; attribute indicates whether
any whitespace inside the element is significant and should not be
altered by the XML processor. The attribute can take one of two
enumerated values:
-
preserve The XML application preserves all whitespace (newlines, spaces, and tabs) present within the element.
-
default The XML processor uses its default processing rules when deciding to preserve or discard the whitespace inside the element.
You should set &xml:space; to
preserve only if you want an element to behave
like the HTML <pre> element, such as when it
documents source code.
xml:space="default|preserve"
