[reportlab-users] BUGFIX: Re:   in paragraph

[Dirk Holtwick]

Hi,

to fix the described error please modify the following function in 
"paragraph.py":

-----------------8<---------------[cut here]
#on UTF8 branch, split and strip must be unicode-safe!
def split(text, delim=None):
     if type(text) is str: text = text.decode('utf8')
     if type(delim) is str: delim = delim.decode('utf8')
     # This fixes &nbsp; issue and multiple linebraks on splitted page part
     if delim is None and text == u'\xa0':
         delim = ' '
     return [uword.encode('utf8') for uword in text.split(delim)]
-----------------8<---------------[cut here]

Cheers
Dirk
