Conditional tags throw off spacing in HTML output

Question

Hi, we use conditional tags to mark text to be hidden/shown when generated.

The marked text displays in html help as though there’s no space between the words “Customer” and “Definiton”:

In the source file (below), I can see that there's a space that isn't tagged, but when we look at the output of this page, suddenly there's no space. Please see attached for images that show what we're dealing with.

Any ideas as to what's going on here? I wondered if it had something to do with bolded words, since the other tags of the same or similar non-bolded words were displaying correctly.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Try replacing the space that is between the span tags with a non breaking space as shown at http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_entities.asp

Can you post the code from the HTML tab so we can see what is happening. I suspect you are right in that the different tags are getting confused but it is hard to say definitively without the underlying code.
