Not apply XML, but Reformat Html
they are not "checked" items, they execute actions when you select them
PS
if you are running the pages in a FP site thru a validator locally that may be adding the spaces

| Hi Steve.  Thanks for the reply.  When I view the HTML and
| right clikc, I get the context menu.  Apply XML Formasting
| rules is unchecked (I'm guessing that was what you were
| looking for, since the others are not applicable).  The
| format code seltion is there.  byw, I run all my pages
| through the W3C MarkUp Validation Service to check for
| broken tags, etc.  Isn't everyone experiencing this?  I
| see many many webpages out there that have the same
| problem.  II can't quit put my finger on when it happens,
| but I will find the blank lines (sometimes as many as 20
| or 30) when I go to the HTM page.  They are alsways in the
| same place and happen on many pages.  They are always just
| after the end style tag and before the 2 meta tags for
| theme and border.  Here is the snippet...  Also when I
| move those 2 tags above the style with the rest of the
| meta tags, FP puts them back, so I am suspecting it has
| something to do with thos.  Thanks  Frank

| <style TYPE="text/css">
| <!--
| .decoration img {display: block;}
|
| -->
| </style>
| <meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="experience 1111,
| default">
| <meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tb, default">
| </head>
