Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] inclusion of a cr/lf file inside a programlisting results in double spaced lines in my pdf
Hi Chris, I'll assume you are using XEP as the XSL-FO processor, since neither fop 0.20.5 nor Antenna House exhibit the double line spacing. When you XInclude a Windows text file using parse="text", each line ends with the Unicode sequence "
". When the property white-space-treatment="preserve", XEP treats each of these as a line break and you get double spacing. I guess FOP and AH are more generous in their interpretation and treat the sequence as a single line break, since it is the well known signature of a Windows text file. But the authors of XSL-FO actually considered this, and provided (in section 7.15.8) for white-space-treatment="ignore-if-before-linefeed". When that property is set, then any whitespace characters preceding a 
 character should be ignore, which should solve that problem.. However, when I set this and process with XEP, it doesn't help. I would have thought if that value were supported that you would get single line breaks. I have to admit I've never pursued it with RenderX. I've always just worked around the problem by firing up vim -b (to edit in binary mode) and globally deleting the ^M carriage returns.
