Plucker 1.1 & vertical whitespace?

[Darryl Okahata]

Hi,

     I'm using Plucker 1.1, and plucker-build is generating pdb's with a
*LOT* of vertical whitespace (multiple screens worth).  Using
"TextParser.py -p", the database has lot of empty/blank paragraphs:

        Paragraph: length 0
                   attributes: 0 (none)
                   offset: 0 (calculated)
        Paragraph: length 7
                   attributes: 1 (1 units of space above )
                   offset: 7 (calculated)
          NewLine
          Reference to image #0
          Text ' '
        Paragraph: length 2
                   attributes: 1 (1 units of space above )
                   offset: 9 (calculated)
          Text '\240 '
        Paragraph: length 5
                   attributes: 1 (1 units of space above )
                   offset: 14 (calculated)
          Reference to image #0
          Text ' '
        Paragraph: length 5
                   attributes: 1 (1 units of space above )
                   offset: 19 (calculated)
          Reference to image #0
          Text ' '

(I don't know where the "\240" is coming from -- it's not in the html --
and plucker certainly isn't displaying any images.)

     The URL I'm trying to grab is (just one page -- "-M1"):

        http://www.serc.rmit.edu.au/~ashelton/anime/html/index_grade.html

     Now, I'm willing to mangle my plucker sources, but what should be
done?  I suppose I could mangle PluckerTextDocument.add_paragraph() to
suppress adjacent "empty" paragraphs, but is this the right thing to do?
I'm not terribly familiar with plucker internals.

     Thanks,
