/ Joerg Wittenberger <Joerg.Wittenberger@pobox.com> was heard to say:
| I need to specify some exact line breaks within some docbook
| documents. Especialy I need line breaks within the titles of
| documents. My question: it there a "right way" to do it (or even some
| provision within docbook already)?
The right way to do it is with a processing instruction, but this
requires a system that will recognize it. (This reminds me that I
should probably implement support for a line break PI in titles
in my DSSSL stylesheets. Hmmm....)
Anyway, there's no DocBook element or attribute that will influence
the linebreaks in titles.
Cheers,
norm
