Whitespace ignored if two formatted words are next to each other. #1069

I'm using version 2024.2.18.0, and it is my first time using Sandcastle.

The following HTML swallows my whitespace between "Hello" and "World!". Is this intentional?

<para>
    <legacyBold>Hello</legacyBold> <legacyItalic>World!</legacyItalic>
</para>

Juxtaposed to that, this is handling the whitespace just fine:

<para>
    <legacyBold>Hello</legacyBold> World!
</para>

It's a known issue going back to the original Sandcastle tools. It's been a while since I've looked at it and I think it has more to do with saving the content to the file rather than the actual transformation. The workaround is to use a non-breaking space between the two elements.
