Subject: backend: special space entity in output From: Horst Kucharczyk <horst@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1998 15:58:14 +0100 |
We would like to use   and   and a few other special space alike characters. For now we have in our stylesheet heading ... <!ENTITY ensp "\U-2002;"> <!ENTITY emsp "\U-2003;"> <!ENTITY thinsp "\U-2009;"> ... and this produces things like ...{\def\Ch%{8194}}... in Tex and ... \enspace ... in RTF. Via TeX this produces <8194> in the PDF output. Presumably the \enspace is what should be produced. Unfortunately Word97 doesn't show anything instead and breaks the document after (or at) the last occurrence of \enspace (and shows ONE non breaking space instead of what should follow). The first solution we thought of in TeX was to include an additional file when compiling the fmt's that contains the additional code to produce a box. (as in ... \DefineCharacter{8194}{\leavevmode\hbox to 1em{\hfil}} ...) This doens't solve our RTF problem though. So, really loving dsssl, we thought of doing the same in dsssl with line-field (?) instead of using the   and thus avoid the problem of the backends. But then line-field apparently isn't all that flexible for the RTF backend. It is only supported at the beginning of a paragraph? And now the question: Has anybody found a solution to a similar need that works for TeX and for RTF. Or two different solutions?
