[Po4a-devel]Non breaking spaces in man pages

[Nicolas François]

Hello,

I would like to resume this discussion.

First, a small (and maybe biased) summary:
Jordi raised two issues regarding non-breaking spaces generated by po4a in
th PO:
  * Using them in ASCII PO is not valid
  * non breaking spaces are not distinguishable from spaces
    (this is more an editor issue, IMHO)
To fix this, an option with-non_breaking_spaces (disabled by default) was
added.
Then Denis indicated that the POT should be unique (which is not if a
language choose to enable and another one to disable this option).



I propose to remove the with-non_breaking_spaces option (and
with-hyphen_to_minus).This should solve the above points.

The only drawback I can see is that translators will have to be aware that
"\\ " in a msgid is a non-breaking space (they will be able to use real
non-breaking spaces in their translations if they want).

Do you agree with the removal of these options?
