To enter ISO-Latin characters that are not directly available from the keyboard, Amaya uses the standard support provided by the Operating System. An optional multi-key support is also provided for Motif versions and Windows versions.
Amaya provides a mechanism for assigning Keyboard Shortcuts to characters that are not directly available from the keyboard. Some of them are pre-defined:
Control - space.
This character will be saved as an entity ( )
and is displayed in the source view with the following colored character:
~
Alt - e.Control - o the
Control - e.Shift - Control - O then
Shift - Control - e.Control - < or Shift -
Control - < (it depends on your keyboard).Shift - Control - >.See the description of the standard input method: Standard multi-key for Unix versions.
If an ISO-Latin character is unavailable on the standard keyboard, you can
insert the character by pressing the special Compose key
followed by a sequence of two other keys. See the table below for the keys
used to insert various ISO-Latin characters. Note that in Amaya, you can
switch the position of the first key and the second one.
If your keyboard doesn't contain the Compose key, you can
attach it to an existing key such as Alt-Gr with the following
xmodmap command:
keycode 113 = Multi_key
You can place this command in the $HOME/.Xmodmap file (in
Unix), and Amaya will apply it when you will launch your X server.

Amaya removes insignificant white-space characters when it loads a document unless they must be explicitly preserved. This is true for XHTML, MathML, and SVG documents, as well as MathML or SVG elements included in a HTML document,
The following are considered as insignificant white-space characters:
#xD and #xA)#X9)To preserve all the characters for some elements, use the
xml:space attribute or the PRE element (only valid
for XHTML documents). The possible values for the xml:space
attribute are default and preserve.
default means that an applications' default
white-space treatment is acceptable for these elements. In Amaya, the
default treatment removes the insignificant white-space characters for
all supported DTDs (see above).
preserve indicates that applications will
preserve all the characters, except the first one that immediately
follows the end tag of the element where it is specified, if that element
is an end of line.You apply the xml:space attribute to all elements within the
content of the element where it is specified, unless it is overriden with
another instance of the xml:space attribute.
In an XHTML DTD, the PRE element causes the same behavior as
the xml:space attribute with the value preserve.
Amaya applies white space handling when it loads a document, not during editing. A consequence is that if you type insignificant white-space characters, they will be visible and saved but will be removed the next time the document is loaded. For example, the following source code:
<p>Amaya removes the <strong> insignificant white-space
</strong>when it loads ...</p>
displays as follows during editing:
Amaya removes the insignificant white-space when it
loads...
The text will be saved with that syntax. However, the next time the document is loaded, the text will display as:
Amaya removes theinsignificant white-spacewhen it
loads...
because the leading and trailing spaces of the element
<strong> are considered to be insignificant and are
removed.
The correct source code would be:
<p>Amaya removes the <strong>insignificant
white-space</strong> when it loads ...</p>
