[XQZone General] Re: [XQZone Announce] MarkLogic Server 3.0 Hits The Street

[Raffaele Sena]

Sorry to be pesky from the beginning :) but I noticed something strange 
while testing the new 3.0 server.

Something has changed in the way white spaces are processed in MarkLogic 
3.0 compared to 2.2-7 (and now I have to fix all my pages ):

Actually what I think is happening is that while before the result of a 
query was sent to the browser untouched now it's "filtered" and 
whitespaces between tags are removed.

Here is an example:

  <a href="#">something</a>
  <a href="#">and something else</a>

This would be sent as is in 2.2-7 but changed to:

  <a href="#">something<a/><a href="#">and something else</a>

That displays as:

  somethingand something else

When I really wanted:

  something and something else


I know the the XML and HTML specs talk about when it's ok to collapse 
white spaces between tags but I always thought that in this case the space 
would be preserved.

Again, not a big deal but I thought I'll point it out.
