Extra space after cross-reference

[jamesl <ja...@rascalsoftware.com>]

I am including a template for cross-references in my stylesheet. The template 
has the intended result with one exception: it inserts a space when the text 
following the cross-reference is a period.

Here is what the output looks like:
     "For more information, see Getting Started on page 2 ."

I want the output to be
     "For more information, see Getting Started on page 2."

Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Re: Extra space after cross-reference

James,

This is just a guess, but perhaps you've included white-space where
there doesn't need to be. white-space can be a bit tricky to manage.
Although excess white-space is ignored, an extra [carriage-return] or
[tab] in the wrong place may not be ignored (particularly if there's no
white-space around it may produce unexpected (or unwanted) results.

I notice that you've got a couple of extra [carriage-returns] between
some elements. Try removing them. If that doesn't work, try putting all
of the template on one line:

<xsl:template match="a"><xsl:element name="fo:inline"><xsl:element
name="fo:basic-link"><xsl:attribute
name="internal-destination"><xsl:value-of select="@idref"
/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="document(@idref)/cnt-elm/title"/><xsl:text>on page
</xsl:text><xsl:element name="fo:page-number-citation"><xsl:attribute
name="ref-id"><xsl:value-of select="@idref"
/></xsl:attribute></xsl:element></xsl:element></xsl:element></xsl:template>

I'm guessing this'll solve it. Also, I don't see the "." anywhere. Since
this template is being called from somewhere else, it might help to have
that portion of your XSL-FL as well.

Good luck!
