Maybe I don't got any other solution because I'm quite new to XSL-FO ... I would really love to use text-indent, but in my case I don't see a chance to do so. This is due to the fact that text-indent only works with fo:block.
my XML doc looks like.. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit <absatz /> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit <absatz /> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit there shall be a linebreak and text-indent after every occur of <absatz />. I found no possibility to apply a new fo:block to all of the text before and after <absatz />. Thats why I'm using <fo:block /><fo:inline font-size="10pt"> </fo:inline> to get my linebreak and indent. If any of you got a better idea I would love to hear it.

I can hardly believe you need a workaround for spacing text, the last time I saw that it was really needed was in the HTML 2.0 time, where tables were not yet a part of the standard. However, if you must use spaces and cannot use text-indent or the like, consider a workaround with either: ‌ -- Zero Width Non-Joiner ‍ -- Zero Width Joiner ‎ -- Left-To-Right-Mark ‏ -- Right-To-Left-Mark For example, you could try this: EM SPACE -- ZWJ -- HAIR SPACE But if that is still truncated down to nothing (as spaces appear to be stripped), you can try holding it into two characters that are not spaces, like this: LRM -- EM SPACE -- LRM (or if your text is supposed to be right-to-left, replace that with RLM) (look here for possible candidates that are better suited than a character that actually has a function: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/category/Cf/list.htm) But, these seem to me like terrible workarounds: not all fonts support them, you should, in any case, use an indentation method or try to apply one, and spacing characters are not defined to be of equal width amongst fonts, leaving you with unequal indentation when you try to apply this techniques with other fonts.
