How to remove additional spacing?

Hello folks,
I am using xml for a newsletter, along with a xsl file to
display it in a browser. In the xml file, a newline, tab or whitespace
character all causes exactly one spacing between two words. That's
generally OK for English or other european languages. But since I am
using Chinese, in our convention, there shall not be any spacing between
two Chinese words. but I definitely won't my xml file being
messed up with very very long sentances all on a single line. They shall
be formatted nicely(i'm using emacs's auto fill mode), and at the same
time won't cause spacing due to newline/tab.
Any solution possible?
Thank you.

You will need to remove these characters when processing the XML file,
assuming the processing is done in XSLT you can use one of the XSLT
replace templates, for example

I'm trying to create a layout table, where the spacing between rows varies. I've tried using setting margin-top and border-top for the rows I wan't spaced down from the one above, and I've also tried setting it on all of the cells of that row. This hasn't worked, so I was wondering if anyone knew how it could be done. Thanks, Rick DeBay

I'm wondering if it's at all possible to have spacing between a table's cells, and only between the cells, not between the outter cells and the table's border. See end of message for an example (make sure to view this in fixed width font). I've played around with different things, such as margin-right, etc. but I didn't get any results. Would this be even possible. I would have thought the specs (either HTML or CSS) would have allowed...

Hi All, This is doing my head in! Please help. I've built a simple <ul> to serve as a menu for a page I'm working on.

I have a table with 3 columns in 1 row. I want to increase the spacing _between_ the columns (gutter) _without_ increasing the spacing between those columns and the table itself. Is there a way to do that in CSS without having to code in extra dummy columns in HTML to create gutters? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard KA9WGN | http://linuxhomepage.com/ ...

Is there a string function in .NET that will remove the accent marks from letters? I know that's a slightly vague request... and that I could implement it by table lookup (and will do so unless something's already there). But can it be accomplished by switching a string among "cultures" or something like that?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
