Re: [docbook-apps] Long text inclusions that don't break anymore
Cheri

I just confirmed your issue. It appears that the <example> formatting 
is the culprit, as it works fine if the  <programlisting> is not 
wrapped by an <example>.

 

Unfortunately, this mere mortal doesn't have an answer so you'll have to 
wait for the 

Docbook gods to wake ;-)

 

This may be a bug?

 

Cheers,

Dean Nelson

Howdy!

  
I'm upgrading to FOP 0.95 from 0.20.5 and from 1.70.1 to 
  1.74 for the DB stylesheets. I’ve got a guide that has code snippets 
  xincluded, like so (from Bob’s section “Using XInclude for text 
  inclusions”):

  
 

  
<example><title>My program 
  listing</title>

  
  
  <programlisting><xi:include  href="mycode.c"  
  parse="text"  

  
      
  xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/></programlisting>

  
</example>

  
 

  
With FOP 0.95/1.74.0 stylesheets, any long code snippets 
  that normally break correctly across multiple pages no longer occupy multiple 
  pages. Instead, the code snippet tries to be on a single PDF page (bleeding 
  into the header/footer). If it’s longer than the full page, the top part and 
  bottom part of the snippet gets cut off and is not displayed. If I just copy 
  the code directly into the XML instead of xincluding it, it breaks fine across 
  pages as expected.

  
 

  
Is this issue with Xincluded code snippets a known problem? 
  Is there anything I can do about it? My apologies if this has been discussed; 
  I tried looking in the archives and had no luck.

  
 

  
Muchas muchas gracias!
