Re: [docbook-apps] Disabling hyphenation on selected string

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

I meant to respond to this item earlier.

The 'hyphenate' property does not apply to fo:inline elements, only block 
level elements. That's what the XSL-FO 1.0 and 1.1 standards say, and I'm 
not sure why that is.  There doesn't seem to be an FO mechanism to prevent 
hyphenation while allowing line breaking within a phrase.  You would have to 
wrap each word in an fo:inline with keep-together.within-line="always".

However, your attribute-set includes the use of 
keep-together.within-line="always", so it should prevent that whole phrase 
from breaking across lines, which would of course prevent hyphenation within 
any of its words.  In my tests, the phrase did not break, so I'm wondering 
why it did for you.
