 Managing the Whitespace - HBS Working Knowledge
Whitespace exists in all companies, and enterprising people are everywhere testing the waters with unofficial efforts to boost the bottom line.
Whitespace activities don't have that benefit; their managers must work to actively establish their legitimacy at the start if they are to get off the ground.
Depending on how whitespace efforts emerge, managers have to walk a fine line in communicating their existence to the rest of the organization and the outside world.

Whitespace that has text before or after it (or in this case, both before and after) should be copied to the output file.
Whitespace in the stylesheet that does not appear in the contents of xsl:text elements is stripped before processing, according to the XSLT spec.
Because the whitespace after the element is significant (by virtue of xml:space), it is copied to the result tree as a text node which will form part of the content of the element.

 Whitespace - LQWiki
Whitespace or "white space" refers to any number of spaces, tabs, or newlines placed between tokens, arguments, or words to separate them.
In general, any amount of whitespace, even blank lines, is identical to a single space and is used to improve program readability.
In LaTeX, most whitespace is the same as a space, except that a space after a macro often gets ignored, and a blank line separates paragraphs.

The DOM interface is then responsible for hiding all stripped whitespace nodes from the iterators and the translet.
The translet is still shielded from unwanted whitespace nodes, but it has the hassle of passing extra information over to most iterators it ever instanciates.
The most effective way of removing unwanted whitespace nodes is to do it once and for all, before the actual traversal of the DOM starts.

Most modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren't there.
Whitespace is a language that seeks to redress the balance.

For example, it has been stated that whitespace plays the crucial role of "directing the viewer’s attention to the regions where important information is provided and allowing the global structure of the composition to assume a meaningful configuration" (Mullet and Sano, 1995, p.
The High amount of whitespace was described as being easier to read than the Low space, however the participants stated that they felt it was slower since they had to scroll more to see all of the text.
In other words, users indicated that too little whitespace caused the layout to be too compact, and thus more difficult to read, whereas too much whitespace gave the layout an "empty" look and required extra scrolling.

 Preserving Whitespace During Translation
Whitespace is ignored and discarded for most parsing and translation operations, however, what about translations that are only slight perturbations of the input?
In other words, all you want to do is change or add a few lines to some input and spit it back formatted just like it was (in contrast to a pretty-printer which totally reformats the input).
By convention, always print the node and then the whitespace that was found after it in the input stream.

Whitespace is very useful in providing contrast between statement blocks, thus making readers assume there are logical breaks between and logical connections within these blocks.
Whitespaces increase comprehension by reducing the amount of information you have to digest at once.
I still prefer whitespace in certain areas, but once the methods are shortened up and operating at a single level of abstraction, the additional "readability" provided by whitespace is negligible.

 Whitespace Handling in XSLT Transformation   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The ability to specify whitespace handling at different levels in the application is often a source of confusion; developers writing XSLT applications often spend time investigating the unexpected presence (or absence) of whitespace in the XML output.
If the input document does not specify to preserve whitespace, the whitespace may be stripped at different stages of processing the input document (parsing, caching, or transformation as shown in the following diagram).
Because the application specifies to preserve whitespace, whitespaces are preserved in the output as shown.

 XML.com: Controlling Whitespace, Part Two
can not only add whitespace where you want it, but also make it easier to prevent unwanted whitespace characters from showing up in your result tree.
When result tree whitespace characters -- in particular, carriage returns -- aren't coming out the way you want them, this element is handy for both adding and preventing whitespace in your result document.
Because an XML parser ignores whitespace between elements if that whitespace is the only character data between those elements, the XML parser that reads in the stylesheet and hands it to the XSLT processor won't hand over that space and those carriage returns, so the template creates this result from the source document:

Moreover, the whitespace component can utilize a lexical analyzer to group code into tokens and a parser component to parse the code.
A whitespace keyword is a single token containing embedded whitespace by a lexer.
The whitespace component interprets such comments as a single space, providing a whitespace keyword based upon a comparison of tokens.

 Syntactically Significant Whitespace Considered Harmful
By using whitespace as a delimiter, it prevents users from just including spaces in their names, resulting in the CamelCase and EmbeddedUnderscore holy war.
Also, I feel that syntactically significant whitespace is related to the HotComments AntiPattern (comments should be like whitespace, and neither should be significant).
A piece of paper is irrelevant to the argument since Python's syntactic whitespace is really as discrete as leading whitespace on a piece of paper - it's purely a relative comparison - "Is this line at the same level as the previous one, or is it indented, or is it dedented?".

 Christian Cantrell: Controlling Whitespace in ColdFusion   (Site not responding. Last check: )
With browsers being as generous as they are about whitespace, ColdFusion, like every other scripting language I have used, doesn't seem to make much of an effort to keep it to a minimum.
Typically, whitespace is not a concern since browsers handle it so well, however if you are trying to generate an XML document, it can be a big problem.
However, CFMX for J2EE doesn't seem to come with the whitespace management option, and sometimes no matter what combination of whitespace management tags I use, I simply cannot prevent the server from writing out a few carriage returns at the top of the document (which makes for invalid XML).
