Reach must render space between inline elements separated only by a space, but it does not

Question

Hope, forum, you can help me with resolution. So far I was unsuccessful.

When the DITA content includes a space that is intended for display, the SDL Reach transform does not render the space in the output. We are trying to fix this.

Example:

When DITA file contains line <cmdname>cmdname_content</cmdname> <option>option_content</option> (space between cmdname and option), in Reach topic view we have cmdname_contentoption_content.

Would appreciate any suggestion on how can we modify Reach html transforms to preserve these spaces?

Looks like it affects Reach output but not HTML5 WebHelp or PDF.

Thanks

Natasha

Hi there. I know that this has been reported as an issue to the Reach team. There was discussion around developing a fix for it (it may be Reach specific and you've not indicated your Reach version). I'm not sure if that fix has been made available or not. Please contact SDL Support and ask for a status update.
