Hello,
I have a strange question. While working with XML and ConTeXt, I have run
into the TeXnic problem of the interpretation of line breaks. What I would
prefer to do for code clarity sake are things like the following:
<list>
<item>
Something
</item>
<item>
else
</item>
</list>
This is however screwed up by TeXs line break interpretation, forcing me to
format the input like so:
<list>
<item>Something</item>
<item>else</item>
</list>
The question now is: is there any way to tell context to strip trailing
whitespaces/line breaks from XML nodes?
Thanks, Joh
