special characters - tab and extra spaces

[Chris Faulkner <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hello

I would like to insert a tab (or multiple spaces) in my XSL:FO
document, rto achieve something like this

identifier : <tab> value

So that value is tabbed away from "identifier :". Is there anyway of
doing this ? Even if I insert multiple spaces, they are collapsed into
a single one. At the moment, I have implemented this by using table
cells and padding but ideally, I'd like to view this as a single piece
of text . Can I do this with any other way ?

Thanks

Chris

If it REALLY needs to be one single piece of text, try Lou's suggestion.
If you have a series of these, then IMO this seems like a perfect
opportunity to use a fo:list-block

Just an idea...

HTH!
