Is it possible to disable format on specific tags ? or custom formatter ?

Hi, thank you for this project !

I am working on an i18n feature and I have a list of trans-unit like this one.

<trans-unit id="FormMinCharField" datatype="html">
        <source>Doit avoir minimum <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ _node?.contr"/> caractères (actuellement : <x id="INTERPOLATION_1" equiv-text="{{ _node?.contr"/> )</source>
        <target state="needs-translation">
Must be at least characters long (currently: ) <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ _node?.control?.getError('minlength').requiredLength }}"/> <x id="INTERPOLATION_1" equiv-text="{{ _node?.control?.getError('minlength').actualLength }}"/>        </target>
</trans-unit>

Everything is fine with your great library : I can parse and build my xml as I want :
I want to be able to keep formatting, and the option format: true, works well. BUT ! I don't want to format content of

However, I don't want to format the content of <target>: I want all the content on the same line <target>content</target>

Have you got an idea how I could achieve that ?

Thank you again !

There are 2 properties tagValueProcessor and stopNodes which may help you for some extent.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunatly, this doesn't helped me. This is how I build my XML :

const options: XmlBuilderOptionsOptional = {
	ignoreAttributes: false,
	format: true,
	processEntities: false,
	stopNodes: ["*.target"],
	tagValueProcessor: (name, value) => {
		return (value as string).replace(/\s\s+/g, " ").replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/g, " ").trim();
	},
};

const builder = new XMLBuilder(options);
const xml = builder.build(data) as string;
fs.writeFileSync(path, xml);

But I still get this output :

<trans-unit id="FormMinCharField" datatype="html">
        <source>Doit avoir minimum <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ _node?.contr"/> caractères (actuellement : <x id="INTERPOLATION_1" equiv-text="{{ _node?.contr"/> )</source>
        <target state="needs-translation">
Must be at least characters long (currently: ) <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ _node?.control?.getError('minlength').requiredLength }}"/> <x id="INTERPOLATION_1" equiv-text="{{ _node?.control?.getError('minlength').actualLength }}"/>        </target>
</trans-unit>

where I would like to have

<trans-unit id="FormMinCharField" datatype="html">
        <source>Doit avoir minimum <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ _node?.contr"/> caractères (actuellement : <x id="INTERPOLATION_1" equiv-text="{{ _node?.contr"/> )</source>
        <target state="needs-translation">Must be at least characters long (currently: ) <x id="INTERPOLATION" equiv-text="{{ _node?.control?.getError('minlength').requiredLength }}"/> <x id="INTERPOLATION_1" equiv-text="{{ _node?.control?.getError('minlength').actualLength }}"/></target>
</trans-unit>

All the "target" tag on the same line, without the spaces at the end...

For now, I am trying to do a warkaround by a regex.

EDIT:

Maybe the "tagValueProcessor" callback should be applied after the formating ?

In such case, I may have to think about some option to skip formatting for provided tags

This could be very cool :)
