Re: [xml] Remove whitespaces from text nodes

[spam spam spam spam free fr]

Yes you are right.
But I am not sure my function will do a good job.
I know 2 whitespaces : " ", "\t", ... But I am not sure that I know all of them.
My function will probably forgot to strip some whitespaces...
This is the reason why I would like to use an already defined function.

Is there a function which do this job?

The spaces are part of the text of the document, so it's not likely that
a conformant XML parser will strip them for you.

You could of course remove the spaces in C after parsing, just as if you
decided to remove every occurrence of an upper-case "B" from the input.

That's just standard C string processing.
