Re: [docbook] Blank Spaces in HTML
You know how in HTML you can use <p>&nbsp</p> to add a space between lines
of text? Is there any way to do this in XML?

Thanks.

JB,

In XML, there really isn't a "blank line" because XML by itself is usually 
not 
a presentation format. As it's used in DocBook, it's content, not 
presentation.

With that disclaimer out of the way, if you're generating XSL-FO to create 
a PDF,
you can insert a line break with the Unicode &#xD; 

If you're generating HTML you can insert the very text you cited for a 
blank line.

What exactly are you trying to do with the XML that makes you want a blank
line? Knowing that might make it easier to help.
