[Framers] Space being removed in structured output

[Rick Quatro]

Thank you Yves. I am taking care of this now in my XSLT, but I may fix it in
the source.

Hi Rick

That's the old "whitespace normalization" bug. Sometimes, FrameMaker has a
problem with inline elements, such as <i>. By the way, you should use a
"more semantically appropriate element" as per the DITA spec, but I digress.

This has been discussed years ago in this user group, so you may want to
seach for "whitespace" in the archives. Scott's DITA-FMx plugin seems to do
a better job with whitespace normalization.

Cheers
