Subject: Re: [office] Use of <text:s> versus
HI, there is a huge difference between <text:s> and  . They represent two different characters! The former is U+0020 while the latter is U +00A0 On Mon, 2013-07-22 at 11:28 -0700, Dennis E.

That is, in the above example, it would be " ". But you are comparing apples and oranges: U+00A0 U+00A0 U+0020 is absolutely not the same as U+0020 U+0020 U+0020 The proper ODF representation of U+00A0 U+00A0 U+0020 is just that: U +00A0 U+00A0 U+0020 Andreas > > The effect in rendering is quite useful.
