Sometimes that works. 8^) The FO extensions generated for each processor may trip up the process. I've found that FOP is the most picky about failing on unrecognized code, so going from FOP to something else usually works.

Thanks. Can I do that by just taking the .fo generated during the build and processing it with another FO processor? (Not sure how to swap out the FO processor in docbkx-tools.)

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
