Untag Boundary Spaces

Ensures that leading and trailing spaces are unformatted.

When character tags are mapped to elements, if the character range contains a leading or trailing space the resulting element will have a leading or trailing space. Because of XML whitespace normalization rules, any leading or trailing whitespace in an element may be deleted when saved to XML.

If, after running a full conversion to XML, and you see missing space to one side or the other of inline tagging, this is likely the problem.

This command scans for these “boundary” conditions (locations where inline tagging changes from one tag to another, or changes to no tag). Any space that exists to one side or the other of this boundary location is “untagged” (assigned “Default Para Font”).

This command must be run before applying the conversion table.
