XSL-FO fop. Long text flows into adjacent cells/block, obscuring stuff there
Could anyone suggest me a way to make long words (like serial numbers) to be wrapped? I tried some commercial software and there is no such issue. Is it a fop bug or probably there is a solution available?
I can't insert zero length space after each character of every word in document. This solution sounds insane for me.
Answer
You can specify the wrap-option attribute in your fo:block like so:
<fo:block wrap-option="wrap"> ... stuff </fo:block>
Here's the XSL-FO specification for this attribute:
XSL Definition:
Value: no-wrap | wrap | inherit
Initial: wrap
Applies to: fo:block, fo:inline, fo:page-number, fo:page-number-citation
Inherited: yes
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Values have the following meanings:
no-wrap
No line-wrapping will be performed.
In the case when lines are longer than the available width of the content-rectangle, the overflow will be treated in accordance with the "overflow" property specified on the reference-area.
wrap
Line-breaking will occur if the line overflows the available block width. No special markers or other treatment will occur.
Specifies how line-wrapping (line-breaking) of the content of the formatting object is to be handled.
Implementations must support the "no-wrap" value, as defined in this Recommendation, when the value of "linefeed-treatment" is "preserve".
You can also define the wrap-option attribute in an fo:table-cell
<fo:table-cell wrap-option="wrap"> ... </fo:table-cell>
and the fo:blocks within will inherit the property.
