That's another pet peeve of mine. There are times when
the tags put a space on the end of the output, and
other times when they do not. Personally, I think that
all the tags should trim all whitespace from the
output, and newlines should not cause spaces in the
output. If I want whitespace, I want control over how
it's put in (&nbsp; in HTML, other commands in FOP).
Statblocks are a real pain in this regard since
whitespace is minimal in that format. Fixing this would
be a very nice FREQ.
