[jdom-interest] Bug in SAXHandler: ignorable white space is t hrown away

[philip.nelson at omniresources.com]

which would be this I think:

	/**
	 * <p>
	 * Capture ignorable whitespace as text
	 * </p>
	 *
	 * @param ch <code>[]</code> - char array of ignorable whitespace
	 * @param start <code>int</code> - starting position within array
	 * @param length <code>int</code> - length of whitespace after start
       * @throws SAXException when things go wrong
	 */
	public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] ch, int start,int length)
throws SAXException {
		 
		((Element)stack.peek()).addContent(new String(ch, start,
length));
	}

I added this to my version of SAXHandler which I am modifying to do the
entity mods we discussed at SDWest.
