faq

What the difference between <text text="value"/> and <text>value<text>?

No difference in this case. But "text" property can includes multiple spaces in a row that won't collapse

---

I got extra spaces in the formatted text:

<text underlined="true">
  underlined text
</text>

wrap your text with <pre>

<text underlined="true">
  <pre>underlined text</pre>
</text>
