Luca, IMO nbsp (and any other Unicode special spaces) are outside the scope of XSL-FO whitespace handling. XSL-FO refers to whitespace as defined in XML. In XML only x#20, x#9, x#a, and x#d are considered whitespace. Therefore nbsp does not need to be considered when looking at white-space-treatment and white-space-collapse. Would that approach remove the complications you mentioned? > > If nbsps must be suppressed, should an empty line be created or not? > > WDYT? > > Regards > Luca Cheers Manuel
