I'd like to trim the leading whitespace inside p tags in XML, so this: <p> Hey, <em>italics</em> and <em>italics</em>!</p> Becomes this: <p>Hey, <em>italics</em> and <em>italics</em>!</p> (Trimming trailing whitespace won't hurt, but it's not mandatory.) Now, I know normalize-whitespace() is supposed to do this, but if I try to a...
Is there an incarnation or fork of Python that formats blocks using punctuation instead of whitespace? There seem to be quite a few branches of Python, such as JPython, IronPython, etc, so just wondered if optional whitespace indentation had been evolved into one of those variants.

Source: <div class="votebox"> <div class="vote"><img src="upvote.png" /></div> <div class...
Hey When sending a message with swiftmailer or SmtpMailer, the subject has a weird whitespace. The subject should look like this: "Newsletter October 2010 - Hello everyone" But looks like this: "Newsletter October 2010 - Hello everyo ne" The whitespace always comes up the same place. PHPmailer does not have the whitespace, but we ...
Quick & dirty Q: Can I safely assume that a byte of a UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32 codepoint (character) will not be an ASCII whitespace character (unless the codepoint is representing one)?
