Was this example tested with another FO processor besides
FOP? That would settle whether it is a FOP problem.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Re: Eliminating soft hyphens shown in mid
line?
In fact it looks like whether the soft hyphen shows up in mid line
depends on the following character.
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><literal>..</literal></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>.
.</literal></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>.</literal></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>.]</literal></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>.\</literal></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>."</literal></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>.a</literal></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><literal>.Z</literal></para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
produces the following in the PDF:
• .-.
• . .
• .
• .-]
• .\
•
.-"
• .a
• .Z

Hello,
Apologies if this is really a FOP question. I'm a bit out of my
depth.
I've added some FO customization based on Bob Stayton's helpful
suggestion on putting hyphenation within table cells, adding soft hyphens after .
in <literal>.
For most of the text the customization works exactly as desired in PDF.
For example, inside of a <para>,
<literal>com.iplanet.am.sdk.caching.enabled</literal> shows up
split where necessary.
You must explicitly set this property to true, because setting com.-
iplanet.am.sdk.caching.enabled
to false in the previous step
disables
both user and configuration data caching.
I have many examples of this working throughout the documentation I'm
working on, and it is particularly helpful in table cells.
Unfortunately, in some cases, such
as <term><literal>userattr =
"[parent[child-level].]attr#GROUPDN|USERDN"</literal></term>, the
soft hyphen shows up after the . even though the line does not break. (I've
replaced the soft hyphen in the following with a hyphen so you can see what I
mean.)
userattr =
"[parent[child-level].-]attr#GROUPDN|USERDN"
What should I do to avoid the soft hyphen appearing in the PDF in such
cases?
Thanks for your time and your help,
Mark
