Hi,

I’ m finally at a point where I can read an XML file look at it and write it back.

Right now I have two problems:

1. There are many empty entries in the table. This makes processing the file a little tedious since I have to filter the real entries.

2. Some entries contain leading and trailing whitespace and linkebreaks. These are the result of formatting the XML file. Shouldn't strip_cm_and_dt take care of them?

no, as comments and doctype definitions are not the same as spaces

Or do I use that incorrectly?

the stored xml is largely roundtrip

I have included my lua file and an example xml. You can run it with mtxrun —script p.lua

Greetings Axel
