Re: [xsl] [saxon] unwanted line breaks in HTML output

[mark_fletcher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The source xml that makes up the text in each escape function is a
concatenation of text from sorted <indexterm> elements and <title> text of
the sections they're found in.

But, I'm not sure how relevant that is.  Again, if I output non-breaking
spaces (&nbsp;) instead of regular spaces (' ') in the text, the lines
never break in the middle and all is well with my JavaScript.  But, with
the spaces there, *something* is deciding to break the line when it exceeds
~150 chars.  I'm not sure if it's saxon, or the parser, or what.  I'm sure
this is meant as a 'feature'.  And of course, it's just fine when
outputting regular text.  I'd just like to be able to turn it off, or work
around it more elegantly than with tons of non-breaking space entities.
