Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (OFFICE-2207) Whitespace processing
Whitespace processing --------------------- Key: OFFICE-2207 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2207 Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: ODF 1.0, ODF 1.0 (second edition) Reporter: Robert Weir Fix For: ODF 1.0 Errata 03 Submitter ID GB-26300-34 Nature of defect Technical Document ISO/IEC 26300:2006 Clause 1.6 Page 34 Description of issue It is stated that "In conformance with the W3C XML specification [XML1.0], optional white-space characters that are contained in elements that have element content (in other words that must contain elements only but not text) are ignored". * It is not clear what "optional white-space characters" are (the term is not defined in XML 1.0), or how the described behaviour conforms to XML 1.0. * Does the phrase "elements that have element content" mean elements that have only element content? This cannot make sense, as whitespace is itself text content. * Consider the markup <text:p><text:span>Hello</text:span> <text:span>world</text:span></text:p>. If processed according to the text above, the space between the words here would be ignored, yet no known ODF processor actually respects this provision. Proposal Reform the text to answer the above queries and modify the stated processing behaviour to accord with the existing corpus of documents and processors. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
