Re: Custom line-break requirement

Small mistake in your XSLT code: for a space, the space PLUS a nbspace
was inserted. That way, the break possibility remains.


Should be:
      <xsl:when test="substring($remaining-address, 1, 1) = ' '">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="$prev-char != ','">
            <!-- if the preceding character was not
              a comma, use a non-breaking space -->
            <xsl:text>&#x00A0;</xsl:text>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <!-- if the preceding character was a
              comma, use a normal space -->
            <xsl:value-of select="substring($remaining-address, 1, 1)" />
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
        
        
        <xsl:call-template name="space_2_white">
          <xsl:with-param name="remaining-address" select="substring($remaining-address, 2)" />
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:when>
