Re: Non breaking spaces or "ties"?

Following up on my own post :-), I was reminded out-of-band that
hyphenate in XSL is an inheritable property, so

 <fo:block>blah blah blah <fo:inline hyphenate="false">Norman
 Walsh</fo:inline> blah blah</fo:block>

is a perfectly legit way of making sure that a proper name isn't
hyphenated.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
