Additional spaces in text are cut when exporting to SVG (Read 212 times)

	Hello, MindFusion team. I would like to report a bug behavior happening with SvgExporter. If I try to export diagram which has text with several spaces in a row, the resulting SVG file displays text as it would always have single space between symbols. To reproduce this issue, please navigate to the attachments.

	Hi, From SVG file you attached, it seems SvgExporter does add the spaces. Apparently ignoring them is default behavior of SVG parsers, following HTML specifications: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Reference/Attribute/xml:space https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Properties/white-spac... For time being, you could post-process exported SVG to add xml:space attribute or CSS to the root element. Code <svg> <style> text { white-space: pre; } </style> .... </svg> We'll have in mind adding that by default for next release. Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion

	The solution works perfectly for single level exporting, thank you. Another problem is that we also use exported diagrams contents for SVG nodes in our app, and it seems like spaces are lost when loading SvgDocument from stream. Please run the attached app which creates a nested diagram with text, exports it to SVG and then adds this SVG content as SvgNode.

	We'll have to add a preserve-whitespace property to SvgContent too for that work. We'll have it in mind for next release along with SvgExporter's one. Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion

	This build adds PreserveWhitespace property to both SvgExporter and SvgContent: https://www.nuget.org/packages/MindFusion.Diagramming.Wpf/4.3.1-alpha1 Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion
