Hi Mark, as Martin already stated, the '-w‘-Option has to be active at import time, otherwise the whitespace will be chopped.
If I were to do it, I’d reindex all data and explicitly mark all elements that should preserve whitespace, if this is not an option I’d reindex all data with whitespace chopping set to off. Looking forward to your example, I am sure we can figure this out :-) Best Michael > Am 26.02.2019 um 18:52 schrieb Mark Bordelon <markcborde...@yahoo.com>: > > A follow-up: starting basex -w does NOT seem to solve completely my issue > after all.
