Line breaks at a special char

Rate this Message:
I need to make a line break if the width exceeds a given value and for that I've added the max-width-attribute to a block. However, I need a little more control to this line break, I need to break at a special character. As an example, look at this:
I have a email and when it exceeds 40 mm, I want to break it at the @ like this foo@ bar.com Is it possible to do with XSLT/XSL-FO or do I need to write an extension (hope not). This is how I want to do <fo:block max-width="40mm" break-char="@"><xsl:value-of select="//email"/></fo:block> :) |

You could, however, try , ZERO WIDTH SPACE, after the potential break characters so the line-breaking algorithm has more to work with. Regards, Tony Graham Tony.Graham@...

Ah, ok, a good start anyway :) Thanks! All I need now is a "space that is not a space". If I replace all the spaces with this other "space" then the problem is solved. Is there such?

See pages 205-206 in http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.0.0/ch06.pdf, available from http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/. I would like to think that just ZWS would solve your problem, but you are probably thinking of , NO-BREAK SPACE. ... >> You could, however, try , ZERO WIDTH SPACE, after the potential >> break characters so the line-breaking algorithm has more to work with.
