Hi Maria, If there's a sequence of <normal space><non-breaking-space><zero-width-space>, which one would survive?

Now, for some of these nested elements I have to create special whitespace (like non-breaking small spaces), so I do not need the whitespace from the normalization. In other words: Instead of "text_text-from-element_text" (with _ for normal spaces between the elements), I want "text*text-from-element_text" (with * for non breaking whitespaces) but get "text_*text-from-element_text". In the beginning I thought of "cleaning up" the FO-document after a first transformation from XML to FO, but on the other hand I think that it is anyway unlogical to normalize whitepace but exclude the typographical whitespaces (or spaces) when creating a document for print. So I suggest to integrate a feature in the FOP to clean up double spaces that come into being because for typography one needs to work with several space characters. May be the FO to PDF stage is not the right place? Best and thanks like always, Maria -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Normalizing-space-and-special-spaces-tp22678087p22678087.html Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
