Re: [Flashcoders] CDATA whitespace issue
I don't have the answer, but since you are using html, can't you just add br instead of linebreaks ? p class=headingHeading/pbrpDescription from xml./p Sometimes, I strip linebreaks from the text I parse in xml, but by doing this, you have to know for sure when you can apply such 'hardcore' rule. This could result in breaking the readability of a paragraph. hth, Cedric hi folks i'm writing some xml for my site to load in content and, because i want to use html, i'm using cdata in my description nodes. The problem is that if i do the following: [xml] ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? site blog /blog portfolio carousel carouselItem name=Test imgUrl=icon_logo.png linkUrl= description ![CDATA[p class=headingHeading/p pDescription from xml./p]] /description /carouselItem carouselItem name=Test imgUrl=icon_logo.png linkUrl= description ![CDATA[p class=headingHeading/p pDescription from xml./p]] /description /carouselItem /carousel /portfolio contact /contact /site [/xml] which is the best structural way of creating it (in my opinion), the CDATA keeps the whitespace between the 2 lines which means that the best way (in as3's eyes) for me to do this is: [xml] ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? site blog /blog portfolio carousel carouselItem name=Test imgUrl=icon_logo.png linkUrl= description ![CDATA[p class=headingHeading/p pDescription from xml./p]] /description /carouselItem carouselItem name=Test imgUrl=icon_logo.png linkUrl= description ![CDATA[p class=headingHeading/p pDescription from xml./p]] /description /carouselItem /carousel /portfolio contact /contact /site [/xml] which is jarring to write (again, my opinion).

Re: [Flashcoders] CDATA whitespace issue
hey cedric - thanks for your response the linebreaks are purely aesthetic, to make it easier to write directly in the xml doc but, as you say, they could be stripped (i'm using p tags already but the net result is the same).

:) yes I know, I am facing the exact same problem. I love best-case scenarios, but with xml I couldn't achieve the first option, unless rendering the xml from a cms. cedric hey cedric - thanks for your response the linebreaks are purely aesthetic, to make it easier to write directly in the xml doc but, as you say, they could be stripped (i'm using p tags already but the net result is the same).
