Hi Giueseppe,
thanks for the answer. I like proposal number 2.) which seems most practical to me.
Also I didn't know that oxygen is Eclipse tooling. I need to look at it.
Thanks again, Lars

Hi Lars,
what you describe happens often, depending on the pretty print
algorithm used by the xml editor.
I think you have three options:
1. if you can use xslt2.0, you can have regular expressions during the
transformation
2. you can use a regex on the whole xml file treated as a string
3 you can use an xml editor with a smarter pretty print algorithm. I
personally use the oxygen eclipse plugin, but this is not free. When
you format the xml using oxygen the spaces in mixed content nodes is
preserved (I have just made a simple test on your example and no space
before the period is inserted after formatting the source).
Hope this helps.
