Re: Wrapping text in XSL-FO table

2003-03-03 06:56:05
Hello,
  The hyphenate="true" helped me. But I have a
slightly different requirement.
I want that if a word comes in a line whose length is
greater than the column width, the word must print on
the same line and breaks with a hyphenation to the
next. The default hyphenation="true" option causes the
long word(whose length is > column width) to begin on
a new line.

Would this be possible with XSL-FO?

Regards,
Mukul

Hello ,
  I am constructing a XSL-FO table. I want a
sentence
wrapping effect like as in MS Word. When something
is
typed in a table row, I need 2 conditions to be
fulfilled -
1) When a word touches the column boundary , the
whole
word wraps to the next line(the word is not split)

This is normal behavior unless you explicitly turn
off line breaking.

2) If length of word is greater than the column
width,
the word is split and continues on the next line

You will have to turn on hyphenation and probably
change the 
hyphentation character (if you don't actually want a
hyphen when a word 
breaks).

Different implementations may behave differently
when flowing text into 
constrained spaces--XEP, for example, never breaks
words unless 
hyphentation is on, XSL Formatter may. The FO
specification leaves these 
details of line breaking up to implementations.

Cheers,

Eliot
