  • 1.  Table cell text overlapes with table border ...docbook 1.74.3

    Posted 10-12-2009 19:36
    Hi,

    I am using docbook version 1.74.3 for PDF report generation.

    I have 50 chnaracter long text in a table cell but it overlapes with the
    table border.

    for example :

    1. I have text "*ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO*" in one
    table cell but it overlapes with the table border and goes outside of the
    table.

    2. But if I modify it as "*
    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNO123456789*" then it does not
    overlap with the border but after 26 character it breaks and goes to second
    line within the same cell as shown below.

    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-
    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO123456789

    how can I make the text string shown in first option to stay within the same
    cell so that it does not overlap with the table border.

    Thanks,
    BRAMANI.

    Does anybody know how to resolve the following issue? How to make the text
    string stay within the table cell so that it does not overlap with table
    border?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    BRAMANI.

    Hi,

    Since it’s not a regular word it can’t be hyphenated; you must specify
    yourself the places where it is allowed to break. If you want a hyphen
    to be visible when the text is broken you can use the soft hyphen
    character (U+00AD). Otherwise you can use a zero-width space (U+200B).

    HTH,
    Vincent
