How to break the long word within the cell

[sujata shetty <su...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
   I have a table in PDF and each column is defined as
2cm.
I am facing a problem in displaying the values in
table.
It the text length is too long then instead of
breaking the text it is printing in a straight line
crossing the column, which results into overlapping of
text of another column. 
I have set the property of wrap-option. This applies
for a word. If a single word is too long that time it
will not break the text but print it in a straight
line.

My requirement is,if the column values exceeds more
than the column width the text should break, even if
it is a single word and display in multiple lines
within the same column.

Can anybody help me on this?

Thanks and Regards,
Sujata

Roland,
  Thanks for the reply. 
I did it by setting hyphenate="true"
It started working.

Thanks once again.

This is what hyphenation is for, check docs/examples/fo/hyphen.fo.

If this isn't approriate, eg for part numbers, insert zero width spaces in
the text:

+space
