[basex-talk] Whitespace handling on ingest

Hi,

I see the 'CHOP' option, turned on by default, for trimming leading and trailing whitespace and eliminating empty text nodes.

What about going further? Is there a good way to normalize whitespace entirely, collapsing any runs of tab-LF-space into single spaces in my data?

I think I mentioned earlier the idea of specifying an XSLT transformation to filter data on ingest (for a similar requirement, namely removing all comments and PIs). That might be going too far but any hints you can give me (or pointers to docs) about functionality to address this sort of thing in general would be welcome.

Thanks! Wendell
