itext pdf and p:text tags

[kpgalligan]

So, does anybody know how to get <p:text/> tags to not put text on newlines?  For example...

<p:text value="asdf"/><p:text value="asdf"/>

This is fairly pointless, but if you want to use a converter (f:convertNumber, f:convertDateTime, etc), its a little frustrating.

Thoughts?

Gee this is kind of old, and I guess there's no solution.  I'm having the same issue. 

The only solution I've come up with is adding getters to the back-end modules and do the conversion there, and not use the p:text tags at all.  But that is not only wasteful is also really bad practice since the session layer is now doing view logic.
