Does specifying a hyphenation character not work for you?

Perhaps using some character other than \ as the hyphenation-character
(often a hooked arrow is used).

I want it to work in html too, so xsl-fo line wrapping
is not really an option David?
Also the content must be unchanged when it is extracted for
use as a program.

Subject: [docbook] Question

I'm looking at embedded code in docbook 5.


<programlisting>

$very long command line

</programlisting>


The problem is that I want to extract the command line as working code, from the docbook, hence I can't embed pseudo newlines/line break characters, as I would for documentation.



Since I don't want to 'unwrap' all short lines, I'm looking at ?? an extension ?? purely for documentation?


<programlisting>

<line>$very long command line <linebreak/> etc etc

</line>

</programlisting>


I.e. to intimate that at <linebreak/> I want (for the docbook 'print' output) a newline inserted to keep the page width reasonable.







regards
