[x3d-public] question on MFStrings in XML.

[Joe D Williams]

please keep it simple and allow the only exception to the MF rule of 
space or comma between SF elements of MF fields. Of course numerical 
MF must no exceptions, but

string='"a""b"'
string='"a" "b"'
string='"a","b"'
all are good.

No reason for MFstring to not allow zero spaces or in fact any number 
of combinations of spaces and no more than one comma.

I think a properly formatted listing would use the comma to sep the 
SFs
'"a","b"'
because that works best for every MF readability

Thanks,
Joe

I don’t see a space between the second and third SFStrings in the 
MFString here:

Hmm. Should I download a new zip?

there is a space character (between second and third SFString values) 
in the source and my reply... perhaps earlier mail got squished? or am 
i missing something?

agreed that whitespace is necessary between SFString values in an 
MFString array.

all the best, Don
