Number sign is put in the wrong place in certain circumstances

[dkager]

Convert the attached DTBook (rename to .xml) with the test server, adding no custom CSS/transform options.
The number sign is incorrectly placed before the comma (in BRF):

.AMSTERDAM#1
ABCD ^AB

test.txt

<dtbook xml:lang="nl" version="2005-3">
  <head/>
  <book>
    <bodymatter>
      <level1>
        <p>Amsterdam,<br/>1234 AB</p>
      </level1>
    </bodymatter>
  </book>
</dtbook>

OK, I think know what went wrong here. Let me try to explain. Because What liblouis sees here is "Amsterdam,1234 AB", without any spacing between the comma and the "1234". The newline that is generated by the br element is only inserted after the translation has been done. It's more or less the same problem as in snaekobbi/pipeline-mod-dedicon#2 (comment). I see several possible solutions:

• Make sure there is a space or newline in the XML on at least one side of the br.
• Depending on how "Amsterdam,1234" must be translated, fix the liblouis table so that the numsign ends up right before the "1".
• Insert ::before and ::after pseudo-elements before translation.

I think the issue with the comma might be a bug in nl-NL-g0.utb (which might in turn warrant keeping numericmode around). I will investigate.

Also, adding a space after the
seems easy enough in CSS, so that’s a good safety net.

This is an issue in the Dutch table and also occurs in liblouis 2.6.5. Likely something in the handling of the decpoint and midnum opcodes.
