Thanks for the tips from both of you!

I think I will try making a xslt to insert the zero width whitespaces as this gives me the same effect as hyphenation and seems to be more mature (at least for my use case).

Thanks again and have a good day!

Hi,

as some other on this list I have the problem of very long strings
without whitespaces. In my case these strings contains source code.
So for example I have the following line:

this.element.nextElement.getSomething(foo).getAnotherThing();

The string might of cause be much longer... Now I tried to create a
custom hyphenation file, which should allow this string to break at
the dot character or at the "(" character. Unfortunately it is not
working. It is working for normal text, but if I try to break after
special characters like "#", "*", "+", ".", etc. it's not working.
I'm using fop-0.92beta.

Cornelius,

I don't know much about hyphenation however you could, for example in
your stylesheet, add a zero width space (0x200b) after each character
you would like to behave as a line breaking possibility.

I would appreciate any hints and tips. Below I've attached a very
small hyphenation file, which of cause is far from complete.

Best regards
Conny
