Re: [Laszlo-user] How to only display a space or a non breaking space?

[Rich Christiansen]

Good idea!

Another workaround would be to do something like this:

<canvas height="100">
  <simpletextlayout axis="x" spacing="10"/>
  <text multiline="true" >
      <font size="15">]</font>
  </text>
  <text multiline="true" >
      <font size="15">[</font>
  </text>
</canvas>

Why not just this?

<canvas height="100">

       <font size="15">] [</font>
   </text>
</canvas>

I think Openlaszlo sometimes trim the content of elements.||

This code display "][" and not "] ["

<canvas height="100">
   <text multiline="true" >
       <font size="15">]</font>
       <font size="10"> </font>
       <font size="15">[</font>
   </text>
</canvas>

I also tried with ,   and &#00A0; but I get "|Character reference "&#0020" is an invalid XML character."|

In XSL, we can use "<xsl:preserve-space elements="xsl:text"/>" to preserve space in xsl:text element. Is there something like that in Openlaszlo?

Thanks
