Re: White space handling Wiki page
If its any consolation in this discussion I wrote a little HTML test to see how browsers deal with these white space (and some line height) issues. To mimic the XSL-FO situation I used only div and span. You can see the results here: http://people.apache.org/~manuel/fop/test5.html I viewed this page with IE 6, Firefox and Opera under Windows and Firefox and Konqueror under Linux. There are differences in rendering some subtle / some quite significant between all 5 browser variants. Although IE stands out in doing it most differently than the rest. If they cannot sort out white space handling (and line height) in HTML (billions of users, designers, spec writers, reviewers, ...) how should we have a chance :-)? Manuel

This means the command to invoke the program is the same on Unix and Windows. Personally I like that change (never favored typing command.sh instead of just command) and suggest we make the same change for FOP. Also makes documentation simpler as the command line invocation is the same everywhere. +1 from me This has been done now. In the process I updated the fop script to match the latest ant script. I would appreciate if other committers working on *nixes could test the new script in their environments and fix or report any problems. Also if anyone can test it under cygwin? Manuel Thanks Manuel
