I am working with a program that generates the following which is processed by fop.
I need to add text overflow to the text area to stop the text overflowing beyond its
enclosing container.
I have tried adding the attribute overflow="hidden" to the enclosing block and block container
and added an fo-inline around the text with that attribute nothing appears to work.
Am I putting the attribute within the wrong containers?
Or does fop not handle overflow
