Hi, I also noted a problem with the removal of leading and trailing spaces in connection with retrieve-marker:
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after"> <fo:block text-align="start"> <fo:inline color="red"><fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="class" retrieve-boundary="page" retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page"/></fo:inline> and blue: <fo:inline color="blue"><fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="class" retrieve-boundary="page" retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page"/></fo:inline> </fo:block> </fo:static-content> The spaces before `and' and after `blue:' are removed. This is probably due to the fact that the space removal mechanism does not recognize that fo:retrieve-marker elements may generate text.
