Preserving word wrap
Using POI for word documents with nutch/hadoop is there a way to force the
plugin to add an eol character where word would typically do wrapping? Or
would I have to rewrite the plugin and add custom logic to add the eol
character? Currently the plugin will print a paragraph on one really long
line.

That is a relief! I could not find what I was looking for and now I do not
have to pull out any more of my hair in frustration; far too little left for
that in any case.

No worries, mine just needs to be in a readable format. So even something as
simple as an eol at the next space character after the 80th character is
good enough for me. I could also create word wrapping on the display side.
Thanks for your help

Re: Preserving word wrap

It's so long since I had to write any print routines using core Java code
that I cannot really remember the deatils but I do know that there is
support in the language for working out the space a line of text rendered in
a specific font will occupy. If I have the time today, I will look out the
code I put together way back when because I think it does something very
much like this; takes a line of text and inserts hard line breaks so that it
can be either printed out onto a page or rendered in some other way. Sorry
to say that I forgot about this completely last night.

Thanks Mark. That's kinda what I figured I would need to do.

Re: Preserving word wrap

Not at all too sure that I understand your question as I am not familiar with
natch/hadoop. So, I am going to guess that you want to use POI to extract
the text of a paragraph or paragraphs from a Word document or documents and
then repsent that text using another application but still formatted - from
the perspective of a paragraphs layout - to the user. If this is correct
then I think you will have to determine where Word would wrap the text and
insert the hard line breaks yourself.
The problem you are facing is that Word does not add end of line characters
to the text of a paragraph to wrap lines. Instead, the application will
determine where the line should be broken based upon the width of the page
amongst other factors. Therefore, you will need to decide where the line
should be broken and insert your own line breaks if you want to emulate the
look and feel of MS Word.
Yours
