True, the documentation of the command-line flags hasn’t been updated for quite a while now. I’ve just caught up on that. BaseX 9.1.1 is scheduled for tomorrow, it will include the updated help texts.

Looks like I was not getting the toggle part correctly. Yes it is very confusing since it says:
"-w Preserve whitespaces from input files"
Thanks! I will toggle this now in my internal documentation :-)

With the same query, when CHOP=false in the .basex file and -w switch on the
command line, whitespace gets chopped (not expected!)
The option is toggled (see one of my previous replies). We should revise the help text on the command-line in a future version.
