Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Line Breaks to BR in HTML Output
Bob, I have found that the literallayout works when I produce and FO and then a PDF, but not when converting to HTML. However for the HTML I am using Dave's FAQ anwaer which seems to be working OK. The thing that is now puzzling me is that I thought a newline character would be honored in the FO output, but I find it is not. Using literallayout here is not statisfactory as the text I am importing from the database is bing put into a table and this tag means the text overruns the confines of the table cell. What I need it to do is honor the newline characters that are there but also wrap the text if it needs to at the boundaries of the cell, but I am not having much luck with this. I did think that maybe using the same XSL for the HTML markup would work, but then I realised that this is just for HTML output and not FO. On another note you may have seen my last post yesterday which was to do with printing a seperate title page. I have re-read your documentation on your very informative site but have not made a progress. Are there any examples or hints you can point me in the direction of to get this to work. I apologsie for all the questions, I am still getting my head around the DocBook standard. Thanks very much for all your help.
