RE: Inserting spaces in my FO Style Sheet

Dear All,

I have tried to add the folowing lines in XSL

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
  <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
  <!ENTITY sp   "<xsl:text> </xsl:text">
]>

but the parser I used, say that

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
Parameter entity
references must not appear within markup declarations in the internal DTD
subset.

I am using the new JAXP 1.1 package which used jaxp.jar, crimson.jar, xalan.jar
in WinNT 4.0, JDK1.3

Is there any way I can bypass this?

Many thanks in advance.

I generally have

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
  <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
  <!ENTITY sp   "<xsl:text> </xsl:text">
]>

as the top end of my stylesheet, then I can use

<xsl:template match="whatever">
  stuff&nbsp;more stuff

to get a simple seperator.

Perhaps for fo, the equivalent would be

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
  <!ENTITY sp "<fo:inline>&nbsp;</fo:inline>">
]>
