Actually, re-reading my own text; this could also be an XSLT issue: on
how to avoid spaces between the two transformed fo elements!
I put in copy xsl-list (not sure if this is a proper practice).

Tony, all
I still feel this is a FO issue and not FOP specific, because:
- I got the same (-ve) result using XEP.
- The problem is eliminated by removing the fo:inline.
- I fixed this manually by removing the newline and/or space from
around the <fo:inline> in the FO file.
I also tried adding fo:inline to the xsl:strip-space element list, but
still. Keeping the fo:inline is needed to provide the normal web link
appearance.
Does anyone have the same situation fo:inline within fo:basic-link,
without the generated output padding spaces? If so what
processor/version please, and can you send a sample fragment that works?
Many thanks for help
Khaled

I've added the element WebLink to xsl:strip-space to overcome, but
didn't work.
The source is:
employing <WebLink url="http://www.xml.org";
<http://www.xml.org>>XML</WebLink>-based single-sourcing.
The xslt for element WebLink:
<xsl:template match="WebLink">
<fo:basic-link>
<xsl:attribute name="external-destination"><xsl:value-of
select="@url"/></xsl:attribute>
<fo:inline color="blue"
text-decoration="underline"><xsl:apply-templates/></fo:inline>
</fo:basic-link>
</xsl:template>
The Saxon generated FO is:
employing <fo:basic-link external-destination="http://www.xml.org";
<http://www.xml.org>><fo:inline color="blue"
text-decoration="underline">XML</fo:inline></fo:basic-link>-based
single-sourcing
And the FOP 0.93 (and XEP 4) generated PDF is (an extra space around "XML"):
employing XML -based single-sourcing.
