line breaks
is there an equivalent of a line break or return carriage that will work
in fop? getting text in a table to display nicely without overflowing
into the wrong columns is really exasperating at times.

Re: line breaks
Posted by Lo...@log-net.com.
Check out the following link (specifically the inserting of zero width
spaces): http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/faq.html#cells-overflow
Also, with FOP 0.20.3, we used to do the following for a degree of
explicit wrapping:
1. Embed the newline character (Windows) in the text: some long
text\nthe next line
2. For the block where the text would go, we would turn off whitespace
collapsing:
<fo:block white-space-collapse="false">...</fo:block>
It's not elegant, but this usually did the trick for multiline or
pseudo-column formatting where you did not want to nest another table. I
have not yet tested this in 0.90.
