I will try if the export filter can handle that. It will be
very hard for the writer to tell whether a formatting includes
the following whitespace or not.
Thanks for the suggestion

Ouch, there are lot of strings where tag content ends or begins with
space and any of them can be problematic for translation. That's
because I wrote I'd not suggest to fix them now because it would
create translation overhead for 3.0.
I mean, that not having spaces at beginning or end of tag content
should be a policy for writers.
Some examples:
- Opens the <emph>Macro </emph>dialog
- click the arrow next to the <emph>Insert Controls </emph>icon
- Use the tools on the <emph>Toolbox </emph>of the
(about 30)
- jumps back to the<emph> While </emph>statement
- <emph>Label:</emph> Target line according to<emph> GoTo </emph>or
<emph>GoSub</emph> structure.
(about 20)
- <item type=\"input\">=DDB(75000;1;60;12;2) </item>= 1,721.81 currency units
(etc...)
Of course I cannot remember at moment all possible 'dangerous' tags.
:) These are just examples.
In examples above: 'Something dialog', 'something icon' are often
translated as 'dialog Something', 'icon Something' and then translator
has to remove space not to leave it in end of sentence or before
comma.

thank you for your suggestion of cleaning up tags.
I can find one occurrence of "OK.</emph>" and three "OK </emph>" in the
current source files. These aren't easily visible in the development
environment using StarOffice 7 plus *.xhp filters, so it is good that
you pointed at this.
They are changed now in CWS hcshared18.
