      Example

      Context: HeaderType1
      OCL: self.Id.trim() = "IdContent"
      Description: The example rule executes trim to the <Id> element and compares the result to a string "IdContent".

       

      The XML snippet below would pass this check. The example has some leading and trailing white space which gets removed and after that a string "IdContent" is left.

      <Id>   IdContent   </Id>

      The other snippet below however would not pass this check. The whitespace inside a string is left untouched.

      <Id>Id Content</Id>
