Re: [xsl] xsl: preserving spaces preserves only one space?

[josh higgins <doopsterus@xxxxxxxxx>]

ok... just thought I would post this incase someone
else wanted to know.  To make the text appear just as
it is in the xml file do the following.

<fo:block white-space-treatment="preserve"
          linefeed-treatment="preserve"
          whitespace-collapse="false"
          font-family="monospace">

   <!-- YOUR CODE HERE -->

<fo:block>


Thanks again for everyone that helped!! (David
Carlisle )
