Dear BaseX folks,
question: what is the recommended way of ensuring that an application calling
BaseX via command-line (basex ...) uses a certain strip whitespace mode (true
or false), if the application is deployed on servers with different BaseX
versions? Option -w cannot naively be used, as it toggles the strip whitespace
mode, so the effect depends on the version.
I have not found out how to determine the version of BaseX reliably, using
XQuery or a command. So how can a script decide whether or not to use -w?
Thank you for help.
Kind regards,Hans-Jürgen
