Subject: Page title formatting error with 1.69.1 stylesheets
I'm using the DocBook style sheets to format a user manual for MySQL++. (http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++) For the previous release of MySQL++, I prepared the manual on a different machine which came with v1.65.1 of the style sheets, and it worked correctly. Since moving to a newer machine with a newer OS and thus newer DocBook style sheets (v1.69.1), the title at the top of each page now has line breaks that didn't appear before. You can view the last release's user manual here, for comparison: http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/doc/pdf/userman.pdf To reformat the current manual yourself, grab a copy of the manual sources with: svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/mysqlpp/trunk/doc/userman Then cd into 'userman', check the FOP path at the top of Makefile (or uncomment one of the other processors' lines to switch to that one), and say 'make pdf'. Just ignore the XInclude warnings. The title is supposed to be "MySQL++ User Manual", centered at the top of the page. With FOP, what I actually get is something like this: MySQL + + Us- er Man- u- al This runs down the left side of the page, overlapping whatever's already there. There are underbars under each line of this. It looks like FOP is trying to hyphenate the text, but a) why would it need to hyphenate it; and b) is it even allowed, given that I've turned off hyphenation? The problem's not with FOP specifically. I also tried the demo versions of the RenderX and Antenna House formatters, and got two different results. One of them (don't remember which) formatted this "correctly" to my eye, but the other did something similar, except that it was a stack of single characters instead of hyphenated fragments: M y S Q L + + etc... Is this a bug in the DocBook stylesheets that has since been fixed? I tried looking at the ChangeLog, but there's just too much to wade through. If it's a known bug, is there a patch I can apply to fix it, rather than upgrade to a newer version?
