Text characters overlap inside a table cell if cell width is less   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #14989 of 16634 |
Hello,
I got help from this forum when I had almost lost hope. Thanks to you guys
again!
Another issue:
If the width of a table cell is less, and has longer words like "Configuration
Management", the words get squeezed into each other in the PDF output. Sometimes
the words wrap and, in the example above, the word Manageemnt would be o the
second line but if the table width is still insufficient, the characters within
the words overlap each other to get fit into the cell.

Have you ever faced this issue?

Can I control it with common-attrs.xls somehow?

I see some properties here for the "pre" element, i tried these but doesn't
work:

<xsl:attribute name="white-space-treatment">preserve</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="white-space-collapse">false</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="linefeed-treatment">preserve</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="wrap-option">wrap</xsl:attribute>

Best Regards,
Sammy

We are having the same problem with column widths in PDF. I don't see the "pagewide" attribute you mentioned. Can you give me a pointer to it? Thanks...

Using pgwide did not help us, but wrapping text in <pre> (to get a monospace font) and setting scale="80" in the table element fixed our problem....

If this question is really about text "overlapping" or "squeezing" in a constrained area, then it is unclear that all the answers are appropriate. Certainly,...
