Feature request: output params for db:replace

Hi, I have a feature request. I have a nice file with just the correct indent, that I was able to create by adding the xml:space="preserve" attribute to the root before making my inserts. [From previous thread]
Ex. <block xml:space="preserve">
       <block>This is a <b><i>test</i></b> sentence.</block>
     </block>
Note: I can't use the output indent = no declaration at the top of my query because I'm in a library module, and I need this function to stay there for sharing. Now, I can't save the content like this (with @xml:space). My DTD doesn't allow for xml:space="preserve", and I don't want it to. Authors can't get the correct indent (based on our DTD) in the editor as long as the xml:space="preserve" remains. If I apply:
*let* *$clean-file* := *copy* *$copy* := *$new*
                               *modify* (*delete* *node* *$copy*/*/*
@xml:space*)
                               *return **$copy*

file:write('file.xml', $clean-file, $param), where param contains
indent="no". It saves correctly, indicating that removing the @xml:space
did not cause a the insertion of an indent space between <b> and <i>.
However, the db:replace('db', 'path', $clean-file) function forces an indent on the content between the <b> and the <i>. Since this is a BaseX function, and not an XQuery fonction, I'm hoping we could get db:replace('db', 'path', $clean-file, $param), where param can include output params such as indent=no. Thank you!

True; when files are written to disk, they are serialized, and serialization parameters can be applied to affect the way serialization works.

It looks like, but it doesn’t ;) In fact, your document will be stored without spaces, as the following example is supposed to show. If the following query is run on an empty database...
   db:replace("db", "x.xml", <xml><a> B </a></xml>)
..the resulting database will be stored as folows (you can view the internal structure with the "info storage" command ): PRE DIS SIZ ATS ID NS KIND CONTENT ----------------------------------------- 0 1 4 1 22 0 DOC x.xml 1 1 3 1 23 0 ELEM xml 2 1 2 1 24 0 ELEM a 3 1 1 1 25 0 TEXT B As soon as this document is serialized, however, and if indent is set to "true", the representation may change. If the problems occur with WebDAV and oXygen, it could help to add the "org.basex.serializer" option with the value "indent=no" and, possibly, "chop" with the value "no" in your web.xml file [1]. Hope this helps, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Web_Application#Configuration

Serializer option helped, thanks! On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 6:44 PM, Christian Grün <christian.gruen at gmail.com>wrote:
