I've been happily porting a document into DITA, doing the bulk of the

such a dangerous application) but finishing off each topic in XML Mind
for validation.

I have the impression that some of the content I've prepared is being
slightly modified: what I specifically notice is that a <shortdesc>
which was a single long line in the external editor seems to be broken
up into several shorter lines once opened in XML Mind. This does no harm
to the end result, of course: but it does mean I can't use grep to pull
out all the complete <shortdesc> elements.

Any tips or comments? I don't think I can get to grips with Xquery in
the time available ;-}


--> XMLmind XML Editor cannot preserve the original text formatting of an XML file.

This is clearly stated here:

Limitations

http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/limitations.html

---
XXE does not preserve whitespace (i.e. the original indentation of a document), the references to character entities, and CDATA sections.
---

For many users, this is a show stopper and they give up the idea of using XMLmind XML Editor just for this reason. I hope this is not your case.



--> I suggest that you use "Options|Preferences", select the "Save" section and then type:

0

in the "Indentation" field, and also type:

1000000

(any large integer will do) in the "Max. line length" field.
