Ok, so why don't we have a similar macro here? Something like: \obeynbsps
See above : there are /some/ things that TeX does that transcend category codes (which are the basis for \obeylines); in particular [1] : "$$ TeX deletes any <space> characters (number 32)" that occur at the right end of an input line" These are ASCII 32s, not \catcode 10s, and XeTeX itself would require modification if you also wanted XeTeX to delete any U+2009s, U+202fs, ... in the same way that it deletes normal spaces. This is without the aegis of \obeynbsp, which would kick in long after this action has been irrevocably completed. But in general, \obeyspecialUnicodespaces /might/ be viable ! ** Phil. -------- [1] "The TeXbook", page 46. Pages 46 and 47 are well worth studying in the context of this discussion. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
