[xep-support] Support of special types of spaces

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Jan,

XEP performs space normalization as prescribed by XSL-FO
specification, please refer to section 7.15.8. "white-space-treatment"
of XSL-FO 1.0 spec.

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

JT> Typography knows several types of spaces, each for different purpose. Xep
JT> supports standard or non breaking space today only. Other spaces are
JT> ignored, replaced by standard space or unknown char is used instead. I don't
JT> know how widely such feature is supported by other FO processors (I do not
JT> use them), but it would be nice.
JT> Next entities were taken from DocBook DTD (iso-pub.ent):
JT> <!ENTITY emsp   "&#x2003;"> <!-- EM SPACE -->
JT> <!ENTITY ensp   "&#x2002;"> <!-- EN SPACE -->
JT> <!ENTITY emsp13 "&#x2004;"> <!-- THREE-PER-EM SPACE -->
JT> <!ENTITY emsp14 "&#x2005;"> <!-- FOUR-PER-EM SPACE -->
JT> <!ENTITY numsp  "&#x2007;"> <!-- FIGURE SPACE -->
JT> <!ENTITY puncsp "&#x2008;"> <!-- PUNCTUATION SPACE -->
JT> <!ENTITY thinsp "&#x2009;"> <!-- THIN SPACE -->
JT> <!ENTITY hairsp "&#x200A;"> <!-- HAIR SPACE -->
