Re: [docbook] Embedding XML schema into DocBook document

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

Jirka's solution will wrap the lines as he says.  But I'm curious about what
people expect when lines in code listings wrap.  The FO formatter will wrap
the lines back to the left margin.  But most people want their code listings
to wrap to the current indent level in the code.  That isn't a feature of
XSL-FO that I know of.  It would work if each line were put inside its own
fo:block, and the block's margin-left set to the appropriate indent level in
the code listing.   In a monospace font, I think the indent width could be
computed from the number of leading spaces? Has anyone tried to do that?

the "programlisting" or "literallayout" elements are right for what I want
to do because many lines of my XML schema are very long and run off the page
if they are not wrapped. I don't want to have to go through the schema line
by line and manually enter line breaks. Is there an element which not try to
translate the XML schema into part of the DocBook document, but will enter
line breaks where appropriate?

You can add the following code into your XSL customization layer in
order to permit wrapping of long lines inside programlisting.

<xsl:attribute-set name="monospace.verbatim.properties"
use-attribute-sets="verbatim.properties monospace.properties">
   <xsl:attribute name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
