This is due to the white space used to ‘pretty-print’ your FO file. The
carriage returns and spaces used to indent the content are normalized by
FOP into one space.
The only way to avoid that is to remove any superfluous white space:
<fo:block background-color="red"><fo:inline
background-color="teal">The sky is blue</fo:inline><fo:inline
background-color="purple">The grass is green</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
You can still avoid very long lines in the FO file by breaking inside
elements like shown above. This is less human-readable, but you don’t
have much choice. Anyway FO files are rarely edited by hand.
