Two spaces in a row

[printshorty]

I have a customer who needs a business card formatted to have 2 spaces after each label's colon, as in "fax: " or "mobile:2spaces)"

 

I have a rule to format the phone number a certain way, and I'm trying to do this inside of a rule that hides the label if the field is left empty. When I preview the results it seems to work, but when I get back into Acrobat, FusionPro has trimmed my 2 spaces to 1.

 

Here's what I have that doesn't work (I'm a complete n00b to both javascript and FusionPro btw):

 

if (Field("Fax") == "")

return "";

else

return 'fax: ' +Rule("Change phone format Rule Fax");

 

I'm sure there's a way to keep both spaces, but nothing I've tried works. I'd appreciate any help.

 

Thanks!

Do you have the "Treat returned strings as tagged text" box checked? If so, the tagged markup parser collapses whitespace. You can use the   entity to denote a literal space character.

That was it. Thank you!
