10810	Property tree XML parser eats whitespace of text elements	ahaferburg@…	Sebastian Redl	"The trim_whitespace flag converts this XML:

  {{{#!xml
  <yes>

    <sadly>Whitespace matters </sadly>
  </yes>
  }}}

into this:

  {{{#!xml
  <yes>
    <sadly>Whitespace matters</sadly>
  </yes>
  }}}

While the deletion of whitespace in elements that contain other elements is fine, I would consider it a bug to delete whitespace in elements that contain only text. It wouldn't do this to attributes, so it shouldn't do it to text elements.

I believe that the cause is that the boost version of rapidxml combines the two flags `parse_trim_whitespace` and `parse_normalize_whitespace` into one, `trim_whitespace`."	Bugs	new	To Be Determined	property_tree	Boost 1.41.0	Problem
