  • 1.  Carriage Return/Line Feed within informaltable cells on PDF

    Posted 03-29-2007 18:45

    Hello,

    I am new here and especially new with using Docbook. I want to create
    Reports with results of softwaretests.
    I used an informaltable. Within the tablecells I have text with includes a
    char(10) --> Carriage return.
    The PDF result ignores these CR/LF.
    Does someone know to solve this? I can also transform the chr(10) to an
    other character before converting.

    Thanks

    I have personally never been able to get any kind of line breaks to work by
    attempting to insert them into a source file.

    Instead, I have had to do things with a customization layer in XSLT, to
    produce separate fo:block elements to break lines.

    I can post an example if you'd like, but in the meantime I'd like to know if
    anyone else has a better solution.

    It's very easy to put in an extra fo block to act as a line break

    <!-- PI to cause a line break - usage <?lb?> -->
    <xsl:template match="processing-instruction('lb')">
    <fo:block/>
    </xsl:template>
    Does this help?

    Hello,

    a mate found a solution for the problem with the table cells. Because the
    <entry> tag doesnt support chr(10)
    I had to enclose the text with the <literallayout> tag. That supports the
    line brakes.

    Thanks to all
