Importing XML - white spaces before tags

Hello,
I'm importing XML into an inDesign document. Everything imports fine but I get extra spaces whenever there is a paragraph return. How could I get rid of those extra white spaces? I don't want to go and edit out all those white spaces by hand....
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Your issue looks like the one described in this page:
http://www.xmlplease.com/normalized
For reference purposes, here is the link for the supported schema and wsdl in PI 7.1
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00a9a425-1769-2a10-9196-bd8eeed72e4c
As a temporary work around, you can try editing the xsd by removing the spaces before importing it into PI.
Hope this helps,
Mark

5.2 Pages, how to create white space before and after paragraphs?

Hi everyone,
I'm having a very frustrating time with the new 5.2 version of pages after upgrading from a prior version. In the previous version, you could easily adjust the exact amount of white space before and after each paragraph. You were able to do this from within the inspector, but for the life of me, I cannot find it ANYWHERE in the new version and I'm ripping my hair out trying to find it.
Surely you must be able to control the amount of space before and after each paragraph? It's totally useless to me if I can't; I want to be able to format my documents how I want; ie. plenty of white space between paragraphs and list points, not all bunched up together.
Someone please help me! Thank you so much!

Try telling Apple that. Start by rating/reviewing Pages in the App Store.
I have been told repeatedly by Apple staff that the new User Interface makes it "Much simpler".
When I ask how? …and point out how many (more) hidden steps there are, they don't want to talk anymore.
Apple's standard response to just about everything lately, unfortunately.
btw If you have the choice, use Pages '09 instead. Less buggy and way more features, better laid out.

None of the above works fine after importing xml to Indesign document/templete, it is not renderting equivalent out instead it is showing the same text inside tags in the Indesign document.
I have lot of content in our database, I will export to XML, import to Indesign, Indesign should render required output like what we see in the browser and export the output to printed format.
Import formated XML to indesign --> Export to Quality Print Format
Can any one guide me and let me know whether it is posible to do with Indesign, if so let me know in case if I am missing anything in importing xml and get required output.
Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply ASAP.

Possibly your expectations are too high. ... Scratch that "possibly".
XML, in general, cannot be "rendered". It's just an abstract data format. Compare it to common markup such as *asterisks* to indicate emphasized words -- e-mail clients will show this text in bold, but InDesign, and the vast majority of other software, does not.
To "render" XML, HTML, MathML, or LaTeX -- you seem to freely mix these *very* different markup formats, unaware of the fact that they are vastly different from each other! -- in the format you "expect", you need to apply the appropriate software to each of the original data files. None of these markup languages are supported natively by InDesign.

White spaces before and after Images

I have several images in my FM document,
They are either gif or jpg.
All set in Anchored frames, left-aligned.
I have made most of them conditional for Online help, so they
dont show up in my Online help.
My issue is I am not sure how to remove all the space that
appears before and after the images (they are not displayed because
I have set it to conditional)
I remember somewhere that the spaces for such images can be
removed.
Please let me know if there is.

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
I have removed the spaces before and after the images in
Frame.
Set the images to be conditional (only for print). If there
are any images they are in anchored frame--left aligned.
So my problem is that the space before - after and the place
where the image originally was (now not displayed as it is
conditional) have these huge white spaces displayed.
I am not sure how to map them or how to delete them.
I am familiar in FM, and Robohelp (although i have worked
with Word only and it was easy). For some reason this seems too
hard.
Hope I have gotten across to you with my question.

DOM xml white space in xml element

Hi there
Can anyone please help me out with a issue I'm having with altering an xml, and then storing it.
The thing is, that when I delete all elements under a parent to insert something new there's a big gap when looking at the xml. Like this
orginal xml fil(as an example):
<batch>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
<somethingtag> <- Im removing these
</somethingtag>
</batch>
with code:
 for(int i = 0; i < antallStartTagger ;i++)
 //System.out.println("Slettet invoicetag nr: " + i);
 Element startTag = (Element) nodeEn.item(0); // Forrige er slettet, s� neste f�rste hele tiden
 startTag.getParentNode().removeChild(startTag);
don't bother the name. The result is:
<batch>
<- still space
</batch>
and when I insert a new element, it put itself at the far bottom, like this:
<batch>
<newtag>
</newtag>
<newtag>
</newtag>
</batch>
And for saving the file STILL with gaps I use the Transformer class:
File xmlOutputFile = new File(filename......);
 FileOutputStream fos = null;
 Transformer transformer = null;
 fos = new FileOutputStream(xmlOutputFile);
 // Use a Transformer for output
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
 DOMSource source = new DOMSource(documentSkjellett);
 StreamResult result = new StreamResult(fos);
 // transform source into result will do save
 transformer.transform(source, result);
 ediLog.append(" -> [" + ediFil + "] lagret");
 catch (FileNotFoundException e)
 {System.out.println("##FEIL## : FileNotFoundException i lagreXMLFil: " + e.getMessage() + " " + e);}
 catch (TransformerConfigurationException e)
 {System.out.println("##FEIL## : TransformerConfigurationException i lagreXMLFil: " + e.getMessage() + " " + e);}
 catch (TransformerException e)
 {System.out.println("##FEIL## : TransformerException i lagreXMLFil: " + e.getMessage() + " " + e);}
Can anyone advice?
Paul

It's because <batch> has two types of children: elements and text nodes.
Assuming that the text is just whitespace, and you don't care about any text occurring between nodes, first call document.normalize() to aggregate all that text into one big node, then seek out and destroy it.
Alternately, if you know that there shouldn't be any text directly under <batch>, simply iterate through its child nodes and remove any that are instanceof Text.

Validating XML and skipping new lines & white spaces ?

Hi everybody !
I'm currently developping a new application and the configuration is done within a XML file. My problem is that I'm using IP addresses and so users have to write things like this :
<agentIP>
132.137.43.2
</agentIP>
and I have a problem with the Java SAX parser : in fact I have declared the type of agentIP in a XML Schema like this :
<xs:simpleType name="IPAddress">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:pattern value="((1?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]).){3}(1?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
and the problem is that if there are some white spaces before the IP or some new lines (in fact the user can format this XML file in different manners), I have a parsing error because the parser interprets these characters too.
Has somebody any idea how to tell the parser to skip these characters ???
for information here is my source code :
ErrorHandler errorHandler = new MyErrorHandler();
 content.setLength(0);
 agentTable = new AgentTable();
 SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
 factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
 factory.setValidating(true);
 SAXParser saxParser = null;
 try {
 saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
 catch (ParserConfigurationException ex1) {
 ex1.printStackTrace();
 catch (SAXException ex1) {
 ex1.printStackTrace();
 try {
 saxParser.setProperty(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
 try {
 saxParser.setProperty(
 "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource",
 new org.xml.sax.InputSource(jamap.share.Constants.networkMap));
 catch (SAXNotRecognizedException ex4) {
 catch (SAXNotSupportedException ex4) {
 catch (SAXNotSupportedException ex3) {
 ex3.printStackTrace();
 catch (SAXNotRecognizedException ex3) {
 ex3.printStackTrace();
 org.xml.sax.XMLReader xmlReader = null;
 try {
 xmlReader = saxParser.getXMLReader();
 catch (SAXException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 xmlReader.setContentHandler(this);
 xmlReader.setErrorHandler(errorHandler);
 // xmlReader.setProperty(
 // "http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation",
 // new File("http://localhost:8080/agentfile.xml"));
 //xmlReader.setErrorHandler (new (ErrorHandler()));
 try {
 xmlReader.parse(new org.xml.sax.InputSource(jamap.share.Constants.homeDir +
 jamap.share.Constants.
 AgentFile));
 catch (SAXException ex2) {
 ex2.printStackTrace();
 System.out.println("Please correct your XML file !");
 catch (IOException ex2) {
 ex2.printStackTrace();
 System.out.println("Error in parsing the agent.xml file");
 return agentTable;
public void startElement(java.lang.String uri,
 java.lang.String localName,
 java.lang.String qName,
 Attributes attributes
 ) throws
 SAXException {
 if (qName.equals("proxy")) {
 isAgentViaProxy = true;
 content.setLength(0);
public void characters(char[] chars, int start, int len) throws SAXException {
 content.append(chars, start, len);
public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] ch,
 int start,
 int length) throws SAXException {
 System.out.println("Some white spaces were ignored !");
}and here the XML Schema used:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:simpleType name="IPAddress">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
 <xs:pattern value="((1?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]).){3}(1?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:element name='networkMap'>
<xs:complexType>
 <xs:sequence>
 <xs:element ref='agent' minOccurs='0' maxOccurs='unbounded'/>
 </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="agent">
<xs:complexType>
 <xs:sequence>
 <xs:element name="ipAddress" type="IPAddress" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
 <xs:element name="proxy" type="IPAddress" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" />
 </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>THANK YOU...

Hi !
I've found the solution finally and as nobody wrote me I'll explain it...
Basically to ignore white spaces you need to specify it within your XML Schema : here is an example of a possible description for an IPv6 address inside an XML schema :
<xs:simpleType name="IPv6Address">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
 <xs:whiteSpace value="collapse" fixed="true"/>
 <xs:pattern value="((1?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]).){7}(1?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>as you can see <xs:whiteSpace value="collapse" fixed="true"/> is solving the problem !!
Bye..

How to remove the white space the in Excel output

Hi All,
I was working with Oracle Apps r12.
We have developed a custom report using xml and the report output type is Excel. when ran the report it completed with normal and the excel output is generated,We have a column called Amount and its having a white space before the amount.
So that we cannot able to do any aggregate function with that data.
For example the column called Amount
28523.20
32569.00
25369.25
in excel the output is coming like this, So when we select this three column and try to do any aggregate function it not giving any value.
I have tried Trim but its dos'nt works, because the values are already trimed.
Can any one could help on this.
Thanks & regards

XSL mapping of ARTMAS IDoc - carriage returns and white space

Hi all. I have tried all sorts here and am completely stuck. I am mapping an article master ARTMAS IDoc using XSL mapping and an extra carriage return and white space characters are being added to the FIELD1 and FIELD2 fields of the E1BPE1MARAEXTRT segment and I don't know why! These fields contain all our bespoke field values joined together so they are 229 and 250 characters long respectively, which I think is related to the problem. The mapping program looks like this:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<ARTMAS04>
<IDOC>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/EDI_DC40"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MATHEAD"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARART"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARAEXTRT"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MAKTRT"/>
<xsl:for-each select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARCRT">
 <xsl:if test="(PLANT='D100') or (PLANT='D200') or (PLANT='D300')">
 <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MARMRT"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="//ARTMAS04/IDOC/E1BPE1MEANRT"/>
</IDOC>
</ARTMAS04>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have a test IDoc going through this and the first 3 characters of the FIELD1 are "BIK". If I look at the source of the XML file, the problem area looks like this:
<E1BPE1MARAEXTRT SEGMENT="1">
 <FUNCTION>004</FUNCTION>
 <MATERIAL>000000000000895649</MATERIAL>
 <FIELD1>
 BIK 0 0.00 T 000000001CARRERA FURY 04 20" CARRERA FURY 04 20" 2005092420040622 X 00000000 20031104 00200406140000000000 0.00 0000000
 </FIELD1>
You can't really see it above, but there is a carriage return and 8 white spaces before the BIK. Where does this carriage return and white space come from?! Any help would be really appreciated - this is driving me crazy!
Many thanks,
Stuart Richards

Stuart,
I think I know the cause to your problem. I am not an XSLT programmer but based on searching this forum I found how I can acheive the carriage return at the end of my document. Your xsl statement is as follows:
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>
Change the indent value from yes to no. This should remove the carraige return. Hope this works for you.
I actually need a carriage return and line feed on my document so I am still stuck. All I have acheived is the carraige return.
Thanks,
Jim

Removing white spaces

Hie Guys,
One of the columns in my report - "Status Description" contains few lines of white spaces before the contents of the cells are displayed. Example is given below. Can anyone tell me how I can remove those white spaces (function/formula)? Thanks.
Project ID
Status Description
100
This project will increase sales by $1.2 M. It will also help increase profit by $0.2 M
101
This project will increase sales by $1.5 M. It will also help increase profit by $0.5 M
102
This project will increase sales by $2.2 M. It will also help increase profit by $1.2 M

"trim(status description)" did not work for me. Originally the cell contents had html tags as shown below. I used the "Read content as html" format option, but the tags did not go away. Then I used the "Read content as hyperlink" option and the tags disappeared. However, I got white spaces like I showed above.
Project ID
Status Description
100
This project will increase sales by $1.2 M. It will also help increase profit by $0.2 M
101
This project will increase sales by $1.5 M. It will also help increase profit by $0.5 M
102
This project will increase sales by $2.2 M. It will also help increase profit by $1.2 M 
Some cells have other html tags as well besides .

White space in parm files foils query for dp export

Hi,
The data pump QUERY option does very strange things with extra white space in parameter files.
If I have any space or a tab between the table name and the colon e.g.
QUERY=UTL_DATA_SYS.LOG_SYSTEM_ERROR :"WHERE 1=2"
I get the following error:
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-31658: specifying a schema name requires a table name
If I put the white space after the colon, it applies the filter to EVERY TABLE !!!! e.g.
QUERY=UTL_DATA_SYS.LOG_SYSTEM_ERROR: "WHERE 1=2"
. . exported "UTL_DATA_SYS"."SSO_AUDIT_LOG_ARCHIVE" 8.640 KB 0 rows

If I get everything JUST RIGHT e.g.
QUERY=UTL_DATA_SYS.LOG_SYSTEM_ERROR:"WHERE 1=2"
I DO get the desired result

. . exported "UTL_DATA_SYS"."LOG_APEX_ACTIVITY_ARCHIVE" 28.49 MB 177253 rows
etc
Is it unreasonable to ask Oracle to trim white space before it processes these commands? I really appreciate all the power of the data pump, but this is one area that some added work would be appreciated to reduce fragility and avoid unexpected behavior.
Thanks
Steve

Sounds reasonable to file a bug.

How to get rid of a white space?

I have cfscript codes that look like the following:
<CFSCRIPT>
if (listFind("2,3,4,5,6",getEmp.EMPID))
varPAEN = "";
if (listFind("5,6,7", A_New[13]))
varLangEN = "If you are not a member of this forum, please
register";
if (listFind("2,3,6",getEmp.EMPID))
These online forums are for user-to-user discussions of
Adobe products, and are not an official customer support
#varLangEN#. If you require direct assistance on our
products please call 1-800- etc....
</CFSCRIPT>
The problem I have is when the variable varLangENG is empty,
it creates an extra white space within the sentence. So instead
user seeing :
"These online forums are for user-to-user discussions of
Adobe products, and are not an official customer support .
If you require direct assistance on our products please call
1-800- etc...."
They see and extra white space before the period:
"These online forums are for user-to-user discussions of
Adobe products, and are not an official customer support . <<
If you require direct assistance on our products please call
1-800- etc...."
This is not the only sentence affected. Please help if there
is a solution. Thanks!

Thinking outside of the box, or space as the case may be.
Move the
leading space character into the variable definition. Then if
the
variable is empty there is no space before it.
varLangEN = " If you are not a member of this forum, please
register";
support#varLangEN#.

Remove XML Tags with White space.

Hi All, I have a scenario like the below code where I have empty spaces in few columns of my tables. I create XML of the data and send it. There is a lot of code such and I can't add ISNULL() on each and every column. Is there any simple one line code working
with the XML so that I can remove the tags with only empty spaces. TIA.
DECLARE @xml1 VARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @xml2 VARCHAR(max)
set @xml1 = (SELECT 1 AS Col11, ' ' AS Col21, 'ABC' AS Col31 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS)
set @xml2 = (SELECT 2 AS Col12, ' ' AS Col22, 'ABC' AS Col32 FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS)
DECLARE @xml xml;
SET @xml = Cast('<ROOT>' + ISNULL(@xml1, '') + ISNULL(@xml2, '') + '</ROOT>' as xml)
SET @xml.modify('delete //*[not(node())]');
-- Some Way to Remove the XML Tags with Empty space here.
select @xml as XMLString
/* Output of the Above script.
<ROOT>
<row>
<Col11>1</Col11>
<Col21> </Col21> -- This XML Tag with a white space should be removed
<Col31>ABC</Col31>
</row>
<row>
<Col12>2</Col12>
<Col22> </Col22> -- This XML Tag with a white space should be removed
<Col32>ABC</Col32>
</row>
</ROOT>

It would have helped if there had been a trim() function in XQuery.
With some trial and error and inventive thinking I came up with this:
SET @xml.modify('delete //*[. <= " "]');
As they say: it seems to work. But I leave no warranties.

Wow Erland this
seems to work, I need to test it against my data and update on this. Thanks again.
