Carriage Return/Line Feed within informaltable cells on PDF

[Kashif Shah]

Hello,

I am new here and especially new with using Docbook. I want to create Reports with results of softwaretests.
I used an informaltable. Within the tablecells I have text with includes a char(10) --> Carriage return.
The PDF result ignores these CR/LF.
Does someone know to solve this? I can also transform the chr(10) to an other character before converting.

Thanks

I have personally never been able to get any kind of line breaks to work by attempting to insert them into a source file.

Instead, I have had to do things with a customization layer in XSLT, to produce separate fo:block elements to break lines.

I can post an example if you'd like, but in the meantime I'd like to know if anyone else has a better solution.

It's very easy to put in an extra fo block to act as a line break

<!-- PI to cause a line break - usage <?lb?> -->
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('lb')">
<fo:block/>

</xsl:template>

Does this help?

That's a lot simpler than the way I had done it in the past.  Thanks.

Hello,

a mate found a solution for the problem with the table cells. Because the <entry> tag doesnt support chr(10)
I had to enclose the text with the <literallayout> tag. That supports the line brakes.

Thanks to all
