Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: long strings
One should also be able to insert ­ (which is defined in the character entity files that are part of the DocBook DTD--or you can just use ­) to insert a discretionary hyphen. This will cause a hyphen (dash) character to be printed at the end of the line if a break is taken here. One can also insert ​ which is the "zero width space" character which allows a line break here without the insertion of a dash. (This character may not be implemented as such in all formatters.) In both cases, if the line isn't broken at that spot, your output doesn't have an introduced space as would be the case with solution 1. paul At 09:48 2002 03 07 +0100, Camille Bégnis wrote: >Hi Tim, > >Three solutions: > >1) The quick and dirty: Add a space/newline where you want the line to >be cutted > >2) The tedious and clean: put the long string into another tag like ><parameter> and make sure it is processed with the \url TeX command and >package. > >3) The tricky: reduce the font size for <userinput> ;-) > >Camille. > >Tim Terlegård a écrit : >> >> If I have a very long string it won't be broken down to two or more lines, >> the last part just dissapears outside the paper (or pdf).
