Re: Auto trim list items

it is an opt-in feature, correct?

FWIW, I think it is the correct thing todo. If you really want that space before the separator, add it manually (and in most cases, a non-breaking space is probably more appropriate).

Currently it is opt-in (via trim), the question is: should be semi-automatic? Say, if break starts or ends with a space (like in break=", "), should we trim the list items, unless told otherwise?

And thanks you both, appreciated!

I don’t think you should trim the space in break=", ", after all it looks like the user has specified it thus. If, on the other hand, TXP or PHP generates extra spaces, yeah, those could go.

(and it is grammatically correct in most languages to have that space there)

No, we won’t trim the space in break, and txp/php does not generate extra spaces. That’s the users themselves that introduce them by prettifying the code:

<txp:category_list>
    <txp:category />
</txp:category_list>

is actually

newline+4spaces+<txp:category />+newline

And the space surrounding <txp:category /> is not always desirable in the final output.
