Re: [Xmldb-org-general] little doubt with xml:db

[Ronald B. <rpb...@rp...>]

Hello,

XQuery provides this only through the fn:normalize-space() function. For 
example:

   /animals/animal[fn:normalize-space(.)="dog"]

(Note that the boundary-space declaration does not apply in this case.)

I don't know if eXist has any special capabilities here.

P.S. For XQuery questions, you will have better luck with the 
XQuery-talk mailing list:

    http://www.x-query.com/mailman/listinfo/talk

For eXist questions, try the exist-open mailing list:

    https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/exist-open
