Thank you! I will try this. Not in java, as I have no idea of java. Note: I have to make sure, that "occasional" authors do not try "layout" their content with white spaces, while writing the content an afterwards complain, that all the work they did is lost after saving the document....

Yes by binding the keystroke SPACE (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/binding.html ) to a custom command (written in Java[tm] for speed) which would refuse to insert a space after another one. Note that this is normally not needed as whitespace is normalized when you save the document (unless xml:space="preserve" of course). Example: type 3 consecutive space characters, save the document, reopen it: you'll find just a single space character.
