## org.apache.fop.fo
Class XMLWhiteSpaceHandler

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.fop.fo.XMLWhiteSpaceHandler

    public class XMLWhiteSpaceHandler

extends java.lang.Object

Class encapsulating the functionality for white-space-handling during refinement stage. The `handleWhiteSpace()` methods are called during FOTree-building and marker-cloning:

- from `FObjMixed.addChildNode()`
- from `FObjMixed.endOfNode()`
- from `FObjMixed.handleWhiteSpaceFor()`

Each time one of the variants is called, white-space is handled for all `FOText` or `Character` nodes that were added:

- either prior to `newChild` (and after the previous non-text child node)
- or, if `newChild` is `null`, after the previous non-text child

The iteration always starts at `firstTextNode`, goes on until the last text-node is reached, and deals only with `FOText` or `Character` nodes.
Note: if the method is called from an inline's endOfNode(), there is too little context to decide whether trailing white-space may be removed, so the pending inline is stored in a List, together with an iterator for which the next() method returns the first in the trailing sequence of white- space characters. This List is processed again at the end of the ancestor block.

`XMLWhiteSpaceHandler()`

Method Summary
`void` | `handleWhiteSpace(FObjMixed fo, FONode firstTextNode)` Handle white-space for the fo that is passed in, starting at firstTextNode (when a nested FO is encountered)
`void` | `handleWhiteSpace(FObjMixed fo, FONode firstTextNode, FONode nextChild)` Handle white-space for the fo that is passed in, starting at firstTextNode
`protected void` | `reset()` Reset the handler, release all references

Method Detail

### handleWhiteSpace

    public void handleWhiteSpace(FObjMixed fo,
                                 FONode firstTextNode,
                                 FONode nextChild)

  Handle white-space for the fo that is passed in, starting at firstTextNode

  Parameters:
    `fo` - the FO for which to handle white-space
    `firstTextNode` - the node at which to start
    `nextChild` - the node that will be added to the list after firstTextNode

### reset

    protected final void reset()

  Reset the handler, release all references

### handleWhiteSpace

    public void handleWhiteSpace(FObjMixed fo,
                                 FONode firstTextNode)

  Handle white-space for the fo that is passed in, starting at firstTextNode (when a nested FO is encountered)

  Parameters:
    `fo` - the FO for which to handle white-space
    `firstTextNode` - the node at which to start
