xml:space Handling in XAML
The xml:space
attribute is an XML-defined attribute that declares the significant white-space processing behavior within an object element. This behavior is relevant for all content (inner text) contained within the element where xml:space
is declared, and also scopes to child elements.
XAML Attribute Usage
<object xml:space="preserve" />
- or -
<object xml:space="default" />
Remarks
The definition for the xml:space
attribute in XAML including its two possible values is derived from xml:space
as defined as a "special attribute" by W3C specifications for XML.
The default value of the xml:space
attribute is the literal value "default"
. For the value "default"
, or if xml:space
is not indicated at all, the behavior of significant white-space parsing is the default handling, as defined in the topic White-space processing in XAML.
To preserve white space within object element content, specify xml:space="preserve"
on that object element.
Under most interpretations, the xml:space
attribute effects and the value of the attribute are scoped to child elements.
