Due to "internal pressure" I've given in to hacking (what else should one do?) a Scan procedure for RNO --> SDML. I'd like to be able to translate the DSR tag # (=space) into a fixed space. TeX knows it as a ~ , but does Document have a "required space" ? (To discourage people from using it, it could be defined as <BLANK_SPACE_FOR_THOSE_WHO_REALLY_WANT_IT> rather than <S> ( :) ) ) Theo

Do it as
<ALIGN_CHAR>(#)
The text containing the#number sign as a fixed space.
<ENDALIGN_CHAR>
maybe? I'm not sure if <ALIGN_CHAR> is valid in all contexts though.

It's invalid in math and has restrictions in monospaced examples.
The TeX side of the tag is to use \phantom{0} for each #
within the <align_char>(#) ... <endalign_char> group. The size
of the 'fixed' space is relative to the font, and will vary
according to context (which is what you want when you are
typesetting rather than typewriting).
