Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Spurious (?) spaces after/before titles in chunked HTML prev/next navigation bar
Hi,It seems those space characters have been present since Norm Walsh wrote the original XSL stylesheets many years ago. Based on how they are used, I'm guessing they were intended as padding to prevent long content in different columns from abutting. That function would better be done using CSS padding properties in the table cells. I don't think you risk anything in removing those characters if you add such CSS.

Hi Someone noticed that in the chunked html output, there are spaces after the title that is the previous link and before the title that is the next link in the navfooter. This seems to be a consequence of the (deliberate) insertion of a non-breaking space character in the stylesheets. See <xsl:template name="footer.navigation"/> in html/chunk-common.xsl in docbook-xsl-ns-1.78.1. The block <xsl:if test="$row2"/> does this, before or after the insertion of the titles (call to <xsl:apply-templates select="$prev" mode="object.title.markup"/>. Since the entire template is riddled with insertions of  , there is presumably a good reason, and I am reluctant to mess with this (e.g., just remove the <xsl:text> </xsl:text> before/after the object.title.markup (or indeed after/before the prev and next in row 1), without knowing why.
