Hear, hear! I'm not sure I want to claim to be either a writer or a programmer, but I think Denis has put his finger on the key issue. None of the tools I've seen do a good job of hiding the irrelevant (to the author) mechanics of SGML/XML and the processing toolchain from the author. By

I personally like emacs + psgml. But that may not be the best choice for your target audience. I knew Emacs before I ever heard of SGML/XML, so the learning curve for the editor per sec was, shall we say, short. But Emacs is not an easy editor to introduce to non-programmers. At 11:12 PM

Hmmm. The behavior I asked about was the normalization (possibly not the right word) of spaces in element content (specifically, although not limited to, para elements), in the SGML version of DocBook processed with the Modular DSSSL Style Sheets. I observe that multiple whitespace characters
