Preserving space in fo:block

["Al-Dhahir, Haitham" <Ha...@gs.com>]

Hi,

I have an fo block with the following layout:

<fo:block text-align="left" white-space-treatment="preserve">
	<xsl:value-of select="X/@val"/> <xsl:value-of select="Y/@val"/>
</fo:block>

I am trying to get a space to appear between the two select values, i.e.
"value_of_X<space>value_of_Y". However what I am getting is
"value_of_Xvalue_of_Y". I have put white-space-treatment="preserve" into the
block header to try to remedy this but it has not helped. Does anyone know
how I can make sure a space appears between the two values?

Thanks,

Haitham.

I believe that's not fop's fault, rather it's default xslt whitespace handling.
Unless you specify otherwise in xslt stylesheet, all "whitepace only text 
nodes" are stripped out from stylesheet tree, except those inside <xsl:text> 
instruction. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.html#strip fro more info.
You can use therefore
<xsl:value-of select="X/@val"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of 
select="Y/@val"/>

You can use xsl:text
or u can use
concat(X/@val,' ',Y/$val)
or u can use
white-space-collapse="false" or "true"in fo:block.

best option is using xsl:text
