Hi all,

I have an interesting problem. I've got a couple of para elements, one that
contains a long example HTML tag:

<para>&lt;img width="300" height="200" src="
http://img.example.com/ggbridge.jpg<emphasis
role="bold">?i10c=img.resize(width:300,height:200)</emphasis>"&gt;</para>

and another with a similarly long URL

<para>http://img.example.com/ggbridge.jpg<emphasis
role="bold">?i10c=img.crop(width:1000,height:1000);img.resize(width:500,height:500)</emphasis></para>

For some mysterious reason, for the first of these, the first line of the
rendered text to look really stupid in the PDF output. It's as if the line
breaks at a reasonable place (the question mark that denotes the beginning
of the query string), but then the line is justified at the left and the
right, with big spaces between each "word" – though the second line is
left-aligned as normal. Something like this:

<img      width="300"     height="200"     src="
http://img.example.com/ggbridge.jpg   ?
i10c=img.resize(width:300,height:200) " />

However, the second example renders just fine. Breaks at the question mark,
both lines are left-aligned.

That suggested to me that perhaps the presence of the entities in the
string might be causing this to happen. But if remove them as an
experiment, it still breaks badly. If I chop out some text so that it's
short enough to fit in one line, it left aligns just fine.

I was able to work around this by adding a linebreak processing instruction
as described in the Book, but I was mystified and wondered if anyone else
has seen this.

Thanks!
