I am creating a tagged PDF document using the iText 2.0 tagging features.
First I begin a marked-content-sequence then loop thru a list of words and
add each word to the PdfContentByte at a fixed coordinate position. I am
adding all the words within a paragraph tag container <P>. The problem is
all the words are added within the tag <P> as one continuos string without
any spacing (word breaks) between words, even though the coordinates of the
words provide for such spacing. How do i include word breaks (as mentioned
in the PDF specs sect 10.7) in such scenario ? Am I even approaching this
issue the correct way ?

Please see my code sample below:

writer.setTagged();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
PdfStructureTreeRoot root = writer.getStructureTreeRoot();
PdfStructureElement para = new PdfStructureElement(root, PdfName.P);

cb.beginMarkedContentSequence(para);

for(Word word : listOfWords){
    cb.beginText();
    cb.setColorFill(Color.RED);          
    cb.setFontAndSize(baseFont, word.getFontSize());
    cb.setTextMatrix(word.getLeft(),word.getBottom());
    cb.showText(word.getText());
    cb.endText();
}
cb.endMarkedContentSequence();
