Q&A

Q. I am trying to set up the formatting for an element that is the equivalent of the HTML <pre> element, in which all text should be presented exactly as entered. However, it doesn't get me what I expected. Why? [No.2002071902]

A.	In your stylesheet, <fo:block white-space-treatment="preserve" linefeed-treatment="preserve"> apple 4, 7, 7, 12 </fo:block> Initial value of the `white-space-collapse` property replaces all remaining runs of two or more consecutive spaces by a single space, then any remaining space immediately adjacent to a remaining linefeed is also discarded. Initial value is true. So you have to specify "false"to avoid this. You need one more property as follows: <fo:block white-space-treatment="preserve" linefeed-treatment="preserve" white-space-collapse="false"> apple 4, 7, 7, 12 </fo:block>

In your stylesheet,

<fo:block white-space-treatment="preserve"
linefeed-treatment="preserve">
  apple
      4, 7, 7, 12
</fo:block>
