Chained links in XML converting to one link

I have a long list of A links in my TextFlow XML but the block of text is rendering as one link instead of individual links. If I add a character between each link it is fine. How can I stop the importer from converting them into one link?

I tried to put a non-break-space entity between the links but the convertor didn't like it. There must be a way to force a space character between two A links.

When I import multiple links right next to each other it looks like there is just one link (the underline is contiguous), but they are actually separate - clicking on a particular character generates a separate, appropriate action.

You can add space between links either by adding a span with a space, or just putting space between the link tags. Even if the TextFlow's whitespaceCollapse property is set to "collapse" (the default) you should get a single space between links if there is any whitespace between the link tags.

Could you provide an example of the markup that you're having trouble with?

I originally had a space between each A link but it still created one big link. I've since added a SPAN between them with a white character in it. I'm suffering even bigger issues with links at the moment which you can view in another thread but this is still a bit weird don't you think? you should be able to string links together and keep them separate.
