All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`export(ExpressionPresenter presenter)`	Export this rule as part of an exported stylesheet
`int`	`isSpacePreserving(NodeName nodeName, SchemaType schemaType)`	Decide whether an element is in the set of white-space preserving element types

- Method Detail
  - isSpacePreserving
```
int isSpacePreserving(NodeName nodeName,
                      SchemaType schemaType)
               throws XPathException
```
    Decide whether an element is in the set of white-space preserving element types
    
    Parameters:
    
    nodeName - Identifies the name of the element whose whitespace is (or is not) to be preserved
    
    schemaType - The type annotation of the element whose whitespace is (or is not) to be preserved
    
    Returns:
    
    Stripper.ALWAYS_PRESERVE if the element is in the set of white-space preserving element types, Stripper.ALWAYS_STRIP if the element is to be stripped regardless of the xml:space setting, and Stripper.STRIP_DEFAULT otherwise
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if the rules are ambiguous and ambiguities are to be reported as errors
  - makeStripper
```
ProxyReceiver makeStripper(Receiver next)
```
    Make a filter to implement these space-stripping rules, or null if no filtering is necessary
    
    Parameters:
    
    next - the Receiver that is to receiver the filtered event stream
    
    Returns:
    
    a filter in the form of a ProxyReceiver, or null
  - export
```
void export(ExpressionPresenter presenter)
     throws XPathException
```
    Export this rule as part of an exported stylesheet
    
    Parameters:
    
    presenter - the output handler
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException
