Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Suggested Writing Style
Hi Mike, 1 and 2 are not the same. In 2 you added a line break before <footnote>, and that linebreak is preserved as a single space in the output. The line break after the <footnote> opening tag is ignored because the content model of footnote does not include #PCDATA. The line break before <footnote> is #PCDATA in the para element, and it is preserved.
