Hi there,
Is there any way to tell xerces to ignore whitespaces within text-nodes?

This is not whitespace in a text node, it's whitespace in markup. This
kind of whitespace is not part of the infoset, and the parser doesn't
distinguish between the two.
parser->setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace ( false );
parser->setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace ( true );
does make no difference.
Or is there any combination of features to be set?
Any hints?
For the parser to know that whitespace is ignorable, you need a DTD that
defines an element's content as element-only, and you need to validate
the document with that DTD.
