    <p>I'm having an issue where when I publish my modspecs to pdf (XSL-FO). My tables are having issues, where the content of a cell will overflow its column into the next one. How do I force a break on the text so that a new line is created instead?</p> <p>I can't manually insert zero-space characters since the table entries are programmatically entered. I'm looking for a simple solution that I can just simply add to docbook_pdf.xsl (either as a xsl:param or xsl:attribute)</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Here is where I'm at currently:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"&gt; &lt;xsl:import href="urn:docbkx:stylesheet"/&gt; ...(the beginning of my stylesheet for pdf generation, e.g. header and footer content stuff) &lt;xsl:template match="text()"&gt; &lt;xsl:call-template name="intersperse-with-zero-spaces"&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="str" select="."/&gt; &lt;/xsl:call-template&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template name="intersperse-with-zero-spaces"&gt; &lt;xsl:param name="str"/&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="spacechars"&gt; &amp;#x9;&amp;#xA; &amp;#x2000;&amp;#x2001;&amp;#x2002;&amp;#x2003;&amp;#x2004;&amp;#x2005; &amp;#x2006;&amp;#x2007;&amp;#x2008;&amp;#x2009;&amp;#x200A;&amp;#x200B; &lt;/xsl:variable&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="string-length($str) &amp;gt; 0"&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="c1" select="substring($str, 1, 1)"/&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="c2" select="substring($str, 2, 1)"/&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="$c1"/&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="$c2 != '' and not(contains($spacechars, $c1) or contains($spacechars, $c2))"&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;&amp;#x200B;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;xsl:call-template name="intersperse-with-zero-spaces"&gt; &lt;xsl:with-param name="str" select="substring($str, 2)"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:call-template&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>With this, the long words are successfully broken up in the table cells! Unfortunately, the side effect is that normal text elsewhere (like in a under sextion X) now breaks up words so that they appear on seperate lines. Is there a way to isolate the above process to just tables?</p>

    1. COThis looks more like a XSL-FO vocabulary question. I've retagged as such. If you think is an XSLT question, please provide input sample and desired output.

    2. CO@Alejandro: Yes its technically an XSL-FO issue (since the problem doesn't exit in html). I guess I'm hoping for a way to add something to the xml.

    3. CODo you want an XSLT solution that will put zero-space characters into the text? If so, can you provide the smallest possible example of your XSL-FO and what text/where you need to be made splittable?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
