Definitely with previous releases, and possibly with 2.4 as well (although Hussein said they would fix this problem), if your document is not valid per the DocBook DTD, the implicit xml:space="preserve" attribute of programlisting elements may be lost. Check Hussein's suggestions first, but if they don't resolve your problem, you may want to check whether your document is valid (freshly created documents won't have this problem, since XXE makes it quite difficult to create an invalid document). @alex -- mailto:dupuy at sysd.com
