| libxml-filter-detectws-perl | Perl module for detecting ignorable whitespace | Mehr ... |
This module is a PerlSAX filter that detects which character data
contains ignorable whitespace and optionally filters it.
.
The XML spec defines ignorable whitespace as the character data found
in elements that were defined in an declaration with a model
of 'EMPTY' or 'Children' (Children is the rule that does not contain
'#PCDATA').
.
In addition, XML::Filter::DetectWS allows the user to define other
whitespace to be ignorable. The ignorable whitespace is passed to
the PerlSAX Handler with the ignorable_whitespace handler, provided
that the Handler implements this method. Otherwise it is passed to
the characters handler. If the SkipIgnorableWS is set, the ignorable
whitespace is simply discarded. XML::Filter::DetectWS also takes
xml:space attributes into account.
.
CDATA sections are passed in the standard PerlSAX way (i.e. with
surrounding start_cdata and end_cdata events), unless the Handler
does not implement these methods. In that case, the CDATA section is
simply passed to the characters method. |
