One or Multiple "&nbsp;" doesn't give any space (event not one). So, is 
there an usage of this entity and is there really compatibility issues with 
your mistake ?

More generally, I didn't found in documentation the exact use of html 
entities. Could you help ?

I don't want line breaking in this paragraph. So XPreformatted works.

Is this right : XPreformatted is like Paragraph but without line breaking 
and with indent/dedent function ? (perhaps a DocString is missing for 
XPreformatted class :-) ?)


Thank's a lot.
