Series of hyphen in fo:block are bypassing wrap-option="wrap"

[Prasanna <Pr...@in.bosch.com>]

Hi,

Series of hyphen chars are not getting wrapped with wrap-option="wrap". Any 
clue why this is happening?

The fo block with text such as ------------------------------------------------
------------------------ is not getting wrapped! The text is running till the 
end of line in the pdf report.

Thanks,
Prasanna

Some, but the most important one is probably that FOP implements Unicode line breaking rules, and Unicode UAX#14 does not allow breaking before characters of class HY (such as U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS). See: http://unicode.org/reports/tr14/#Algorithm and scroll down to find "LB21 Do not break before hyphen-minus ..."

If you need a true line-wrapping effect, the usually suggested workaround is to inject ZWSP into the text, either at strategically chosen locations or between every two characters/hyphens.


Regards,

Andreas
