Re: [docbook-apps] programlisting hyphernate.verbatim problem

[Dan Sanderson <lists@dansanderson.com>]

Heh, I just asked this last week, so I should probably respond.  :)

This is indeed a bug in FOP.  FOP does not do the right thing with "soft 
hyphens", which is what the templates output to indicate where the line 
can be split.  Instead, FOP renders soft hyphens as visible hyphens.

I don't know of a workaround, and one wasn't mentioned in the previous 
thread.
