    - #### public static void setGlobalKeepIgnorableWhitespace(boolean keepIgnorableWhitespace)

      Whether ignorable whitespace (e.g. whitespace between elements) is kept (default false). WARNING: this is a global setting. Altering it will affect all DOMCategory usage within the current Java process.

      Parameters:
        `keepIgnorableWhitespace` - the new value

    - #### public static void setGlobalTrimWhitespace(boolean trimWhitespace)

      Whether text content is trimmed (removing leading and trailing whitespace); default false. WARNING: this is a global setting. Altering it will affect all DOMCategory usage within the current Java process. It is not recommended that this is altered; instead call the trim() method on the returned text, but the flag is available to support legacy Groovy behavior.

      Parameters:
        `trimWhitespace` - the new value
