RE: Letter and currency symbol being split when at end of line

Thank you Roger and Simon

The NoBreak works.

The xsl-fo:wrap-option would have been ideal, as we don’t actually control the input.  Our clients author their own content then we render.  Understanding the FOP group is a small group of volunteers, are there any ongoing plans to extend wrap-option to inline sections?

Thanks
Mark

The Nbsp character would add a space in between the “C” and the “$” though.  If you need the C and the $ to stick together, try the Word Joiner character:

U+2060
&#8288;
&NoBreak;
<fo:character character="&#8288;"/>

https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2060/index.htm

It prohibits a line break at its position.  Seems to work for me in FOP.

If you can only fix the xsl-fo, not the input xml, you can try adding a wrap-option attribute (http://www.datypic.com/sc/fo11/a-wrap-option-1.html)

wrap-option=”no-wrap”

That would probably serve you best in a <fo:inline> surrounding your currency string like <fo:inline wrap-option="no-wrap">, but it doesn’t look like it would work in FOP right now:

Ref: https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html
 §7.16.13              wrap-option       Basic      partial   partial   partial   partial   partial   partial   Only supported on fo:block.

Hi,

What about using a non breaking space character between letters.

Thanks

Hi

I’ve googled this, but have got nowhere.  I’m hoping it’s just an easy “use this xsl-fo tag” …

When we specify different currencies, it’s typically in the format of C$ for Canadian dollar, etc.  We’re finding, if C$ is at the end of a line, it can get split between the C and the $.  Is there a way of forcing a sequence of characters to keep together, similar to how keep-together keeps lines/paragraphs together?

Thanks
Mark
