RE: [xep-support] Text formatting in a table cell

Thanks for the comment Mike. My unfortunate constraint is that the text cannot wrap. I like how the formatter will make spacing adjustments but there comes a point I need to just clip (truncate).

Hi Craig,

I might be misunderstanding what you mean, but you can use the hyphenate
attribute on the block to force it to wrap rather than getting all
squashed up.

Subject: [xep-support] Text formatting in a table cell

In a table I have a constraint that incoming data, no matter how long,
cannot create a line wrap in a cell. The language I use to prevent this
is:

<fo:table-cell>
        <fo:block><fo:inline
keep-together.within-line="always"><xsl:value-of
select="Datavalue1"/></fo:inline></fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>

The formatter seems to handle this well adjusting character spaces to
make it fit. Sometimes the text is so long the characters just become a
"blob" in the cell. I cannot find an FO construct to tell the formatter
to just clip excess text that cannot fit. Does a method exist? My
fallback position is to truncate data prior to formatting but this would
be somewhat arbitrary given the variance of the length of character
strings after formatting.

Thanks.
