[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#354219: xmlto: long lines without white space are not wrapped

[Mikko Rapeli]

Package: xmlto
Version: 0.0.18-5
Severity: normal


I'm blaiming xmlto but perhaps this belongs to some other docbook related 
package, so please forward on.

Long lines without white space are not wrapped, so PDF and PS files are
missing everything thats gone past the width. I ran to this issue when
xinclude-attaching XML files with long continous settings without
white space, but long lines within the DocBook document seem to just run
out of space too.

There must be a simple fix for this within the DocBook/XML toolchain,
but I didn't find it. Since txt and html output is not affected, perhaps
this is a bug in the /usr/share/xmlto/format/fo/* scripts.

To reproduce, convert attached DocBook XML file to pdf with xmlto and
see how the lines don't wrap.

A workaround for sarge would be great to find out. I tried docbook2pdf
from docbook-utils package and the result is same; long lines are not
wrapped.
