Re: [docbook-apps] Breaking 'code' lines in tables for FO output (Apache FOP to PDF)

[graeme@heliocentrik.net]

Hi Bob,
Brilliant - that works a treat now. Thanks so much.

For others' benefit, the last section of my stylesheet now reads:

<xsl:template match="d:entry//text()">
    <xsl:call-template name="hyphenate-url">
      <xsl:with-param name="url" select="."/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:template>

Is there a more general solution to this issue than the 'hyphenate-url'
trick? Something that won't mean me specifying each additional breaking
character?


Graeme
