# StripXMLWhiteSpace

Set `StripXMLWhiteSpace` to `False` if you do not want to remove white spaces (spaces, tabs, carriage returns, line feeds, and so on) from XML before you index it into IDOL Server. By default, IDOL Server removes spaces and creates an empty tag. For example, `<A> </A>` becomes `<A />`.

NOTE: IDOL Server does not strip spaces if a field contains any non-white-space characters.

Type: | Boolean
