Greetings, I have looked at the threads relating to line break issues as well as looking at various documentation on how to force line breaks. From what I have read, it appears that inserting a zero-width space character in a long string should enable the string to be broken at the ZWS character when it spans a column edge (in my case, a very narrow table column). I have succeeded in inserting various kinds of "breakable" characters after underscores (which are common in the strings I'm trying to break). However, the only character that actually causes a break is a full space character,   . Other characters I've tried include the ZWS U+200B, soft hyphen U+00AD, and hair space U+200A -- but these do not appear to enable line breaking for me.
I am using FOP 0.93 in a Windows environment. I'm also using an en-US hyphenation table from OFFO. What I would like to find out is: 1. Should the ZWS work, and if so, what might cause it not to work? 2. Are there alternatives for creating a line-break after an underscore? (I tried customizing a hyphenation pattern in the en_US.xml hyphenation file and pointing the cfg.xml <hyphenation_base> to point to its directory, but this did not appear to work for me either - output shows the hyphenation file is being read, but the new pattern apparently is not being processed. I tried changing the hyphen character in the en-US.xml file, and that did not get picked up either. Sorry to put more than one issue in a message - I've been working on this problem for way too long with little result. Any pointers would be appreciated.
