many thanks to all who replayed my question, I've choose to declare some
properties that have defaults not matching my needs, they are:
- linefeed-treatment = "preserve";
- white-space-collapse = "false";
- white-space-treatment = "preserve".
it seems a simple and workfull solution
ha ve a nice time during the week end

If I have information stored in a DB ORACLE, inserted from a data field

tab).
HOW could I represent in pdf the same formatted text?
The initial property for linefeed-treatment= is "treat-as-space". If you
want to respect the linefeeds created by your XML authors, then use the
value "preserve".
Spaces are also treated specially. The initial value for
white-space-treatment= is "ignore-if-surrounding-linefeed" and you may want
to change that to "preserve". The initial value for white-space-collapse=
is "true" and you may want to change that to "false".
Depending on how you want the "formatted text" to be displayed, you may
have to set all three of these properties to get output similar to "pre".
One final choice for you to make, what about authored lines that are too
long for your printed line? The initial value for wrap-option= is "wrap"
and you may want "no-wrap".
Actually the code I have is:
<fo:block font-size="8pt" font-family="sans-serif" line-height="10pt"
space-after.optimum="4pt" padding-top="4pt"> <xsl:value-of select=
"// DATA/ROWTAG/CS01_DESC_OPERAT"/>
</fo:block>
and all that is retrived fromn DB, via XML, mantain tha case format, but
lose the end of the line, marked on DB with a double pipe.
I'm sorry that I do not understand what you mean by "marked on DB with a
double pipe" ... the properties I have described above are for authored
text that you want to preserve when rendering to the printed page, without
the initial values of these properties converting the content to
proportionally spaced flowed text.
By playing with the properties on a single block, you can flow all of your
text with linefeeds into that single block without any kind of "breaking
up" of the text into separate blocks.
I hope this helps.
