Japanese/Chinese period

Hi All,

I have encountered an issue where Japanese/Chinese period add a space at the
end of sentences because it is a double byte character. The translated data is
stored a database. The issue that I am having is due to this space the
superscripted bibliography references will fall on the line below the
sentences they are associated with and appear as stragglers. The documents are
displayed in a two-column format.

How can I remove the space using my XSL-FO stylesheet? I provide snippets of
the XML and XSL.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
H. Burke


========XML========

c<superscript><bibref
xref="bibTMB38970614"/></superscript></para>

This is the English equivalent:
<para>Tubes of blood are... contact with cells within two hours from the time
of collection. <superscript><bibref
xref="bibTMB389614"/></superscript></para>

========XSL========

This is the Bibliography Reference (<bibref>) template. I placed the
"keep-with-previous.within-line" with value "always" in fo:basic-link and
superscript template but it doesn't make a difference.

<!--======+Bibliography Reference (bibref) Template+======-->
<xsl:template match="bibref">
   <xsl:variable name="xref" select="@xref"/>
   <xsl:for-each select="//bibliography/bibliomixed">
      <xsl:if test="@id = $xref">
	  <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{generate-id(.)}"
keep-with-previous.within-line="always">
	     <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::bibliomixed)+1"/>
	   </fo:basic-link>
      </xsl:if>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
