Hi,

What is happening is I enter two spaces after a period, save and close the 
file, open the file and the two spaces have been changed to one space.  In 
particular this is occuring inside the <para/> element, which I thought was 
sacrosant.

For example, I enter:
<para>Blah blah.  Blah blah.</para>

After closing and opening the file I have:
<para>Blah blah. Blah blah.</para>

When transformed to html output I expect the double spacing to be removed, as 
double spacing is not recognised in html - but it is recognised in print 
formats, which is why I am including them.

Any ideas?

Geoff
