s/idented/indented/ Consider XML like this: 
<document id=23>
   <title>Title</title>
   <subhead>Subhead</subhead>
</document>

In the above, if we preserve whitespace, we'd get something like the following: 
%xml = (
   document => {
      id => 23,
      title => 'Title',
      subhead => 'Subhead',
      content => "\n   \n   \n",
   }
)

Because the 'document' element's 'untagged' content is the whitespace around the other tags.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
