The notorious {{Code|CHOP}} option was removed to prevent conflicting behavior caused by earlier installations. It was replaced by a new {{Option|STRIPWS}} option, which defaults to {{Code|false}}. In addition, the new default of the [[Serialization|serialization parameter]] {{Code|indent}} is {{Code|no}}.
Please be warned that the new default can throw off existing applications. If you want to restore the old behavior, you should assign the following values in your [[Configuration|.basex configuration file]], or the {{Code|web.xml}} file of your [[Web Application]]:…
<syntaxhighlight lang="xquery">
STRIPWS: =trueSERIALIZER=indent=yes</syntaxhighlight> …or add context parameters in the {{Code|web.xml}} file of your [[Web Application]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="xquery"><context-param> <param-name>org.basex.stripws</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value></context-param><context-param> <param-name>org.basex.serializer</param-name> <param-value>indent=yes</param-value></context-param>
</syntaxhighlight>
declare boundary-space preserve;
