Changing whitespace node filtering

You can control whether Rational® ClearCase® XML Diff Merge displays whitespace-only nodes when calculating differences. You can only filter nodes that contain only whitespace. In a text node that contains any non-whitespace characters, whitespace is considered significant, and is always displayed.

To filter whitespace-only nodes, select or clear one of the options described in Table 1.

Table 1. Whitespace filtering options
Option Description
All Visible Show all whitespace-only nodes.
Only Differences Visible Show a whitespace-only node only if it contains a difference.
None Visible Show no whitespace-only nodes, even if different. This option is available only in comparing mode, where it is the default; in merging mode, these nodes cannot be ignored.
