Understanding SAX and IgnoreWhiteSpaces

I wonder if there is any SAX expert here. I want to parse an
XML file  
with line breaks and tabs. It seems that the 'character'
handler under  
ContentHandler will include linebreaks spaces and other
invisible  
characters as content of the tags.

So for example I will get something like:
[  ] [     ] [Content] [ ] [     ] [OtherContent] [ ]

<tag>
    <value>Conent</value>
    <value>OtherContent</value>
</tag>

[ ] = Line Breaks (n)
[    ] = Tabs (t)

How can I ignore this non-visible character and just get the
visual  
one. Thanks.

Alexandro,

In the 'character ' function, I would just use a 'sub' using
the regexp 
're' module if you are in Python.
