Description
The following XML document is handled properly by "Format Document" but not "XML Tools: Minify XML":
<tests>
<test>1.
2.
3.
4.</test>
<test xml:space="preserve">1.
2.
3.
4.</test>
<test>1.
2.
3.
4.</test>
<test xml:space="preserve">1.
2.
3.
4.</test>
</tests>After "Format Document", the result is as follows, which is good:
<tests>
<test>1.
2.
3.
4.</test>
<test xml:space="preserve">1.
2.
3.
4.</test>
<test>1.
2.
3.
4.</test>
<test xml:space="preserve">1.
2.
3.
4.</test>
</tests>However, with "XML Tools: Minify XML", text contents that have a whitespace before a EOL are normalized, which affects the meaning of those contents in whitespace sensitive applications:
<tests><test>1.
2.
3.
4.</test><test xml:space="preserve">1.
2.
3.
4.</test><test>1. 2. 3. 4.</test><test xml:space="preserve">1. 2. 3. 4.</test></tests>The minifier should either stop text normalization when an ancestor element has xml:space="preserve" or change line breaks to 
, 
 or 
 depending on the EOL setting.
