First hadn't even noticed the lf after foo... Should it make a difference whether you write: <fo:inline ...>sth</fo:inline> or <fo:inline ...>sth </fo:inline> or <fo:inline ...> sth </fo:inline> Doesn't that depend ... ? (I'm trying to see on what exactly) Using the default values for the related properties (see Finn's OP), space would *always* remain for the latter two cases. Now, don't know for sure what's considered to be best practice, but maybe the only way to really 'solve' the original issue, would be at the FO level. Just advise everyone to use LF rather in the markup itself (like in your example, the second fo:inline). So if, in the last case here above, one *really* needs to avoid trailing and leading spaces, one could rearrange it like (most extreme case) : <fo:inline ... >sth</fo:inline> or <fo:inline ... >someverylongphraserunningthroughtotheendofthepagewhichiseemtobeunabletoachi eveatthemoment< /fo:inline> So, in short, no LF between > and the start of the content, nor between the end of the content and <. Perfectly admitted. Cheers, Andreas
