Was this example tested with another FO processor besides FOP? That would settle whether it is a FOP problem.

In fact it looks like whether the soft hyphen shows up in mid line depends on the following character. <itemizedlist> <listitem><para><literal>..</literal></para></listitem> <listitem><para><literal>. .</literal></para></listitem> <listitem><para><literal>.</literal></para></listitem> <listitem><para><literal>.]</literal></para></listitem> <listitem><para><literal>.\</literal></para></listitem> <listitem><para><literal>."</literal></para></listitem> <listitem><para><literal>.a</literal></para></listitem> <listitem><para><literal>.Z</literal></para></listitem> </itemizedlist> produces the following in the PDF: • .-. • . . • . • .-] • .\ • .-" • .a • .Z Mark On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 3:23 PM, Mark Craig <[email protected]> wrote: Hello, Apologies if this is really a FOP question. I'm a bit out of my depth. I've added some FO customization based on Bob Stayton's helpful suggestion on putting hyphenation within table cells, adding soft hyphens after . in <literal>. For most of the text the customization works exactly as desired in PDF. For example, inside of a <para>, <literal>com.iplanet.am.sdk.caching.enabled</literal> shows up split where necessary. You must explicitly set this property to true, because setting com.- iplanet.am.sdk.caching.enabled to false in the previous step disables both user and configuration data caching. I have many examples of this working throughout the documentation I'm working on, and it is particularly helpful in table cells. Unfortunately, in some cases, such as <term><literal>userattr = "[parent[child-level].]attr#GROUPDN|USERDN"</literal></term>, the soft hyphen shows up after the . even though the line does not break. (I've replaced the soft hyphen in the following with a hyphen so you can see what I mean.) userattr = "[parent[child-level].-]attr#GROUPDN|USERDN" What should I do to avoid the soft hyphen appearing in the PDF in such cases? Thanks for your time and your help, Mark
