programlistings that don't wrap

["Dennison, Cheri" <cherid@amazon.com>]

Hello!

I'm upgrading to FOP 0.95 from 0.20.5 and from 1.70.1 to 1.74 for the DB stylesheets, and I’ve noticed that in my PDF output, *some* (but not all) of the long code lines (inside a <programlisting>) that have NO spaces in them no longer wrap and just keep going off the page. With the old FOP and stylesheets, all the long lines in <programlistings> wrapped, just not necessarily in a spot that made any sense. Now, just some of the lines don’t wrap. Or a small amount of the text wraps onto a second line, but then there’s a third line that just keeps going off the page (strange?). We don’t want to manually break the lines, because we want them to be unbroken in our HTML output (so folks can copy/paste the code and have it work).

 

I’m using FOP 0.95, Saxon 6.5.5, and Xerces 2.8.0. My PDF customization layer has the following stuff related to wrapping. I think we originally tried hyphenate.verbatim until we realized it wasn’t supported by FOP, so it’s turned off (I’m assuming it’s still not supported).

 

<xsl:attribute-set name="monospace.properties">
                        <xsl:attribute name="font-size">9pt</xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

 

<xsl:param name="hyphenate.verbatim" select="0"/>
<xsl:attribute-set name="monospace.verbatim.properties"
                        use-attribute-sets="verbatim.properties monospace.properties">
                        <xsl:attribute name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="hyphenation-character">&#0160;</xsl:attribute>
                        <!--  revised to no character 9/27/2007 -->
                        <xsl:attribute name="hyphenate">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

 

Any thoughts on this? I’m going to consult the FOP-users list also.

 

thanks!
