Re: [docbook-apps] Weird formatting with programlisting and screen

Hi Jon,
I don't get that result when testing with the stock 1.76.1/fo stylesheet.  I suspect 
your customization turns on the stylesheet param 'hyphenate.verbatim', which does not 
work properly in FOP.  That param triggers insertion of soft hyphens, which are not 
supposed to show unless they are used to break a line.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Weird formatting with programlisting and screen


I have several syntax statement illustrations that I am using in my document.  I read 
that programlisting is a "verbatim" environment and, except for XML markup (i.e., 
<tags>, etc.), it doesn't alter the source (including whitespace and CR/LFs).

The following statement:

 <programlisting>alter user smith identified by 'password';</programlisting>

appears in FOP output as:

 alter user smith identified by -'password';

I tried using screen instead of programlisting and got the same result.  I also tried:

 <programlisting><![CDATA[alter user smith identified by 
'password';]]></programlisting>

to see if that would make a difference, but no dice.

This is just wrapped in a regular <para> in a <section> in a <chapter> in a <book>. 
Very straightforward and I am surprised to see this spurious DASH appearing.  I did 
more testing and this seems to occur only when there is a quoted string (single or 
double quotes trigger it) but not if the first quote occurs at the END of a word.

NO DASH:
 <programlisting>alter user smith identified by password';</programlisting> NO DASH:

DASH:
 <programlisting>alter user smith identified by 'password';</programlisting>
 <programlisting>alter user smith identified by "password";</programlisting>

This is not critical at this moment (I am still working on the doc and can ignore it 
for a while) but it will make my examples technically incorrect unless I can fix it 
before I publish.

Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance.
