I did a search and didn't see anything on this so apologies if duplicating.
When using the [LINKS] in vertical alignment, it still adds the separator (ie, if you do not select anything, it puts " "). This throws off the alignment of the links so that each item seems to be indented, and looks especially off when your item wraps to the next row. Also, if I add "text-decoration:underline" then the 2 non-breaking spaces get underlined as well. Not pretty.
Since I didn't want to change the code, my workaround was to add the following to skin.xml:
<Setting>
<Name>Separator</Name>
<Value><![CDATA[<!---->]]></Value>
</Setting>
Is there a better solution?
