Hi,
typographical rules for Czech language forbids single letter
prepositions at the end of line. This is commonly solved by inserting
( ) after each preposition. So instead of writing:
... V lese ...
we often write
... V lese ...
and we are sure that the line break would not occur between "V" and
"lese". The problem is when text-align="justify" is specified and spaces
between words must be stretched. Normal spaces ( ) are stretched to
proportionaly distribute gap between words. Unfortunately width of
no-break space does not stretch so these spaces look thinner than normal
spaces. This leads to a very unpleasant rendering.
Is it possible to make no-break space stretchable in XEP (so it will
behave same way as ~ works in TeX)? Or is there other character with
similar behaviour?
If not, can you modify XEP rendering engine to treat no-break space as
stretchable space? Without this feature it would be impossible to use
XEP for high-end formatting in Czech language.
Thanks,
Jirka
