Thanks Brian. I intuitively figured there was something wrong with
using an empty abbr element.
In fact, my first attempt was to do just as you suggest. However, I
realized that there is a problem with that. Namely, when all the
values are concatenated together we get this value for fn:
Mr.JohnQ.PublicM.D.
--- In this case, they would not be concatenated together.
Concatenation only happens with class="value". The white-space between
the nodes is considered as well. In HTML one or more white-space
values (space, tab, return) is considered one space unless you
explicitily use the . So your FN value would actually be:
Mr.
John
Q.
Public,
M.D.
With XSLT there is 'normalize-space' which converts that to the string
you would expect. "Mr. John Q. Public, M.D."
White-space is only preseved when you are using <pre> elements.
One solution would be to add a space after each part:
--- in this case, it is not needed.
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
--- i don't think it is a problem, unless you WANT to preserve the
white-space, then in that case, i would suggest using the <pre>
element.
