Tabs Inserted in Front of XML Elements

$

I am importing an XML document into InDesign (CS6). All works well except InDesign places a tab space every time it encounters an opening XML element, even when after I remove tab spaces in the source XML file.

 

This is what is different about my problem and others I have seen pop up on the Internet. Usually, the tab spaces appear in the source XML file and the user wants them removed.  My problem is that InDesign inserts tab spaces in front of each tag regardless of whether an actual tab appears in the source file.

 

Whe importing, I am using the following options:

 

  • Clone repeating text elements
  • Do not import contents of whitespace-only elements

 

All others are not checked off, although I have tried numerous combinations of checking on and off of options.

 

The paragraph style declarations that I have mapped to each tag have no tabs declared, so I don't think that is the problem.

 

If I remove the tabs manually inside InDesign then re-import the XML, it does not re-insert the tab spaces and the content looks fine. So this isn't a problem that I can't correct with some effort. But I somehow must be doing something wrong.

 

So, what is it I am missing here?
