Re: [docbook-apps] Wrapping table cell content

Hi Bob,

Enabling hyphenation for table cells did the trick.

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

Can you be more explicit about the cell 
content?  When you say code, how is that marked up?  And the URLs, I 
presume those are long strings without a space?  Certainly cell content 
containing spaces should break, unless something else is affecting 
it.

 

The wrap property is already on for tables, so it 
is not surprising it has no effect.  It allows breaking on spaces and 
hyphenation.  If you turn on hyphenation for your tables, at least your 
long URLs might be broken at a hyphenation point.

 

You might also mention which version of FOP you are 
using, and if it isn't 0.93, I would recommend you upgrade.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Wrapping table 
  cell content

  

Hi everyone,

I'm generating PDFs from Docbook 4.4 
  documents using the 1.69.1 version of the XSL stylesheets. The issue I'm 
  encountering is that my table cells contain code, URLs, and other text that is 
  not wrapping. As a result, FOP smooshes (technical term) the text together in 
  each cell. 

In my customization layer, I disabled hyphenation at the 
  root level because I don't want to hyphenate title or paragraph 
  text.

<xsl:attribute-set 
  name="root.properties">
<xsl:attribute 
  name="hyphenate">false</xsl:attribute> 
  
</xsl:attribute-set>

I enabled the wrap-option attribute at 
  the table and table cell levels:

<xsl:template 
  name="table.properties">
         
  <xsl:attribute name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute> 
  
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template 
  name="table.cell.properties">
         
  <xsl:attribute 
  name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

The 
  text continues to jam itself into a single line in each table 
  cell.

I've searched the docbook-apps archives and Googled the problem, 
  but haven't found an answer. Is there another parameter I need to set (or 
  disabled) in my customization layer?  I noticed the programlisting 
  parameters; but I don't have any programlisting elements in my document. 
  

Thanks in advance.
