Description bmarcelly 2008-10-17 14:46:21 UTC 
When you add indentation with spaces in the xml file help.tree the resulting help 
displays a tree with spaces before each topic.
These spaces before a text shoud be ignored.

The spec for extension help provides an example of such space indentation. See here, 
topic : Another Page.

For tree files in extension help the same mechanism is used as
for tree files in the OOo built it help, so this is no extension help
specific problem. I will have a look. STARTED

The problem is that the example in the spec is misleading. The line
break and the leading spaces were only inserted for formatting rea-
sons in the spec document. I corrected this in revision 1.6 of the
spec document and added a corresponding comment.

It makes no sense to change the behavior concerning leading spaces.
This is the XML parser's default behavior and it works according to
the XML specification. Besides this we don't really have any problem
here besides the misleading example. If someone doesn't want spaces
in front of the text, he just shouldn't put any spaces there.

-> WONTFIX
