Hi List,
I have an xml input that will be processed into a FO file, via Saxon and
Apache's FOP (1.0). The resulting string will eventually be output to a
fo:table-cell. FOP does a decent job of hyphenating, however it is not perfect.
If I have a string input like this:
<pnr>PN-THIS.IS.A.LONG.PN12.23.56</pnr>
The output on PDF looks like this:
PN-
THIS.IS.A.LONG.PN12.23.56
the problems is that my cell is very small. I would like to have it look like
this:
PN-THIS.IS.A.
LONG.PN12.
23.56
I found a workaround, where if I include spaces in the string, I get better
results:
<pnr>PN-THIS.IS.A.LONG. PN12.23. 56</pnr>
However, this requires changing the input, which I don't want to do. I can not
use string-length because the size of the space can vary depending on the
characters used. For example, 'WWWWW', is bigger than 'iiiii' in actual size.
Both return a string-length of 5, but are not the same size. So, I've written a
java extension that will return the size of the Rectangle2D width. I have an
idea of where the 'line' break should be (140 the width of the framing
rectangle), but I am not sure how to translate the width into a function in
xslt to add the spaces.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help
Phil
