auto-linebreak?
I want to allow long URLs amidst text to automatically linebreak after
slash characters. This is somewhat related to the issue of
hyphenation, but at first glance at the doc there doesn't appear to be
any support for it. Any ideas? Thanks,
--Mike

Excellent -- ​ worked like a charm. The following perl
postprocesses away the problem throughout the text, auto-breaking after
dots/dashes/slashes that fall between alphanumerics:
$fo =~ s{(<.+?>|[^<]+)}{
my $m = $1;
$m !~ m~<~ and $m =~ s~(\w[-./])(\w)~$1​$2~g;
$m;
}sge;
This is actually a lot more refined than how it works in my old
favorite FrameMaker, which breaks after specified characters no matter
what, e.g., breaking filenames like .cshrc onto two lines.
Many thanks,

There was some discussion about this some time ago (IIRC, it was a year
or so) in the archives. I don't have the time to look, but it dealt
with PATH information for URLs and/or local file systems.
From what I recall the solution, if there was one, involved adding '/'
as a breaking point or something. Unfortunately, partly because FOP is
not a finished product, I don't think the problem resolved. Or if it
was, it involved placing a zero-width space before '/' character(s), so
they would wrap 'naturally'.
