Comparison of end tags
Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 2:34 pm
Hello, I am not sure if I am missing a setting or if it is a bug/feature that isn't customizable.
So we have an XML document. When I change the xml from:
<item/>
to
<item></item>
Compare it! does not recognize it as a change unless there is text inside of the tag. Without getting into the discussion of how there is no difference between the two, can someone explain why compare it would rewrite <item></item> as <item/>. And, if possible, how to change this?
Sincerely,
Ryan
