[Framers] White space in tables

[Rick Quatro]

Before I forget, I am using FrameMaker 2015. I checked and RemoveExtraWhiteSpaceOnXMLImport is On. Thanks for the suggestion.

Apparently, it is the way the original xml is "formatted". If I change this:

<tr>
<td><p>January 1, 2017</p></td>
<td style="text-align: center;"><p>$10.50</p></td>
<td style="text-align: center;"><p>$10.00<br/>(current rate)</p></td>
</tr>

To this (the whole <tr>...</tr> one one line):

<tr><td><p>January 1, 2017</p></td><td style="text-align: center;"><p>$10.50</p></td><td style="text-align: center;"><p>$10.00<br/>(current rate)</p></td></tr>

I no longer get the extra white space. Note that with the former, I was only getting the extra white space inside the first <td> but not the other two.

I can get the desired result by using

<xsl:strip-space elements="tr"/>

in my stylesheet, but in my opinion, FrameMaker is being stupid with this behavior. There is no reason it should put the extra white space in the first column. Thanks.

You may want to check two places:
EDD Suffix rules that could add a space to <p> element
or
maker.ini line: RemoveExtraWhiteSpacesOnXMLImport=On
it may be Off

Hello and Happy New Year Framers,
I have xml with this basic structure for a table row:
<tr>
<td><p>January 1, 2017</p></td>
<td style="text-align: center;"><p>$10.50</p></td>
<td style="text-align: center;"><p>$10.00<br/>(current rate)</p></td>
</tr>
When I open this with FrameMaker, I get extra white space after the first
column's <p> text. The second and third columns display fine. As you can
see, there is no extra white space in my <td> or <p> elements. Any ideas on
where the extra white space comes from and how to prevent it? Thank you very
much.
