Re: [Chicken-users] Minor issue with spiffy's sxml->html

[Zbigniew]

The default HTML generator in the SSAX tools prepends a newline to
open tags, rather than appending one to close tags.  This results in
subtly different behavior which fixes your specific issue.

For sxml-transforms I extended the generator to omit newlines for
inline tags (a, b, i, etc.).  This prevents extraneous whitespace from
being inserted into the HTML, which can cause unwanted spaces in the
rendered output.

It would probably be easy to update Spiffy to do this; you could snarf
the code from sxml-transforms/chicken/xhtml.scm.
