After more thinking, I think that removing spaces is right in html, but
in xml it is better to keep them. In docbook I don't know, and in info
keeps things as is.
Docbook should do the same as XML. (Spaces are already so problematic
in XML I don't see much point in trying to do anything special.)
in info keeps things as is.
I thought info was the other place where we want those spaces to be
ignored. In Werner's example:
@example
@multitable @columnfractions .5 .5
@headitem foo @tab bar
@item foofoo @tab barbar
@end multitable
@end example
We don't want the spaces (or newlines) in the input to be passed through
to the output. Do we?
