Title: Re: [docbook-apps] Column problems

The wrap-option works for me, when the text has spaces in it to permit breaks, or when hyphenation is turned on. 

 

If you have spaces and still get no breaks, I would take a peak inside the FO output to see if the wrap-option property is actually making it into the FO for the literallayout.

Bob - apologies, I found one source of the problems:  somewhere down the line I had lost the <title> and since I couldn't validate, XEP did the best it could with an invalid document.

I've now set up to validate with relames.jar and (with a title) it now validates OK, XEP handles it fine, and my points 1. and 2. are now resolved.

However, point 3. is still unresolved

3. the 'wrap' code

<xsl:attribute-set name="verbatim.properties">
  <xsl:attribute name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute>

</xsl:attribute-set>
 

does not wrap the long lines in the <literallayout> in <blockquote> elements.
