I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce the problem. [1] I've created a DocBook book with several chapters, each one containing a <programlisting> with several lines of indented code. [2] If I add an attribute "lang" to the <book> root element and set this attribute to "de", the generated PDF (I used FOP for that from within XXE Professional Edition: DocBook|Convert|Convert to PDF [no TOC]) is fine: the PDF block corresponding to the <programlisting> has all the required linefeeds. [3] If I change the "lang" attribute to "en" and regenerate the PDF, it is fine too: the PDF block corresponding to the <programlisting> has all the required linefeeds. My questions are then: * Are you talking about two *different* DocBook documents one in German and the other in English? * If you are talking about the same document, how, in practice, do you ``change the language'' to English?
