RE: Custom line-break requirement

Hi,

I tried your suggestion, however I'm still seeing the issue. I've
attached a sample code block to show you what I'm doing (wrongly I
assume :P )

<!-- Replace all white space characters with a non-breaking space to
prevent line breaking -->
	<xsl:template name="space_2_white">
		<xsl:param name="remaining-address" select="''" />
		<xsl:param name="prev-char" select="0" />
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="not($remaining-address)" />
			<!-- Exit on null string -->

			<xsl:when test="substring($remaining-address, 1,
1) = ' '">
				<!-- if the preceding character was a
comma, use a normal space -->
				<xsl:value-of
select="substring($remaining-address, 1, 1)" />
				<!-- if the preceding character was not
a comma, use a non-breaking space -->
				<xsl:if test="$prev-char !=
','">&#x00A0;</xsl:if>

				<xsl:call-template name="space_2_white">
					<xsl:with-param
name="remaining-address" select="substring($remaining-address, 2)" />
				</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:when>

			<xsl:otherwise>
				<!-- Insert the next char, and recur -->
				<xsl:value-of
select="substring($remaining-address, 1, 1)" />
				<xsl:call-template name="space_2_white">
					<xsl:with-param
name="remaining-address" select="substring($remaining-address, 2)" />
					<xsl:with-param name="prev-char"
select="substring($remaining-address, 1, 1)" />
				</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>

You can replace all occurences of <space> with <nbspace> but leave all
occurences of <comma><space> as is.

<nbspace> = non-breaking space = &#x00A0;
