Lines run together in screen tags in PDF builds
Last modified: 2010-11-23 22:58:31 EST
Created attachment 340463 [details] PDF example None of the linebreaks or white spaces in screen tags are honored in the PDF builds. I have publican 0.45 installed. For example, I'll have something like this: <screen>ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w secret dn: uid=jsmith,dc=example,dc=com changetype: replace replace: cn cn: John Smith</screen> But in the PDF, it comes out like this: ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w secretdn: uid=jsmith,dc=exam\ ple,dc=comchangetype: replacereplace: cncn: John Smith This is with my local builds. I'll upload a PDF; see pages 2 and 4, for example.
I'm setting this to an urgent priority. I have a release next week.
There are no urgent Fedora bugs that don't include crashing and/or trashing source. The version of this doc in the ECS SVN repo builds fine for me. Perhaps you should try pushing a draft in to brew and seeing if that works correctly.
Hi Deon, Is this still relevant? If so, please provide me a link to the source for testing. - Mike
Hi, Mike. I think part of the problem was related to having inline formatted tags at the end of a line in screen. For example: <screen>This is my first line, with a <replaceable>variable</replaceable> tag at the end.</screen> It would all run together, but if I put a character at the end like , then it worked as expected. <screen>This is my first line, with a <replaceable>variable</replaceable> tag at the end.</screen> Now, the example I had attached in the original comment, that wasn't the case, yet it was still running together. But I don't know what was wrong then; I re-installed fop and publican in the interim (same versions), and now it's fine. I think you can close this, but I'll reopen and whine again if I need to. :) Thanks! Deon
