Yes, I used the "spacebefore" detection (and I could have totally used it
in the wrong way - so that could also be the problem!). But on my test it
seemed that a zero-width space was included as a "space" so therefore
"spacebefore" was true (Khmer words have a zero-width space between them -
I am trying to detect a normal space before a word). Am I correct that
"spacebefore" will think a zero-width space is a "space" the same as a
normal space?
Is there anyway to detect specifically a normal space, and ignore a
zero-width space?
Thanks,
Nathan
