Subject: RE: [xsl] soft returns/wrap not displaying the way I want From: "Keddy, Paul" <Paul.Keddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2001 15:11:41 -0300 |
HTML that I am trying to generate is: text that will 1. display say at most 40 characters per line 2. display hard returns. so that if someone typed a letter out/ or i should say retrieved from the xml, the proper formating would be there. (ie. the 2 hard returns after the Member word; after 70 characters..say it is the word "forever" it will automatically go to the next line and not continue putting more text (ie. as opposed to putting the whole body of the text on 1 line which is what happens now). ie. Dear XSL-List Member How are you today? I don't want this sentence to run on forever therefore it will wordwrap (also called a soft return as opposed to a hard return that happens when someone hits the enter key). Sincery, Paul I guess from your solution, I would somehow nest the xsl select statement in a table (taking care of the soft returns/word wrap), and have any line break characters (
) go to <br/> (taking care of the hard returns/enter key) Anyway, I won't beat this horse to death anymore...thanks for your response. > If your problem is that you want a third mode, where spaces may possibly > line break but line break characters always line break.
