One consideration. Right now you have to write the following:
|cell1|cell2|cell3
this is not very readable IMO compared to:
| cell1 | cell2 | cell3
However right now since whitspaces are honored if you write the
latter
you'll get:
<td> cell1 </td> in XHTML.
Is there any possibility to trim spaces only around the table
delimiters
and
honor only the spaces inside the text in the tables?
I'm leaning towards trimming the surrounding white spaces. One is
that it
allows us to align cell elements and the second is they doesn't
represent
any valuable information. I mean regardless of the existence of
surrounding
white spaces, the output will look the same.
No, and that's the point. Currently whitespaces are significant and
are taken into account and thus represented.
Ok, I tried it and it has an effect only when the output is something like
this :
<table
border="1"><tr><td> hi </td></tr></table>
OR
<table border="1"><tr><td style="white-space:
pre-wrap"> hi
</td></tr></table>
And not when it's like :
<table border="1"><tr><td> hi
</td></tr></table>
So it makes sense to respect white spaces (+1). But whether to use or
styles is a question. styles seems to be a cleaner way as suggested by
sergiu.
