whitespace nodes about cheerio HOT 4 CLOSED

from cheerio.

cool beans. I've found the setting and I'm patching it manually until it becomes an option

from cheerio.

Now you can do:

var $ = cheerio.load(html, { ignoreWhitespace: false });

to disable whitespace stripping. You can also enter any other options that node-htmlparser2 accepts.

from cheerio.

{ ignoreWhitespace: false } doesn't work again?
I've now downloaded current version of Cheerio and see the option doesn't work again. Whitespaces are ignored always.
