    I need to do a "hard wrap" with XSLT FO

    Normal word wrapping occurs on whitespace between the words, but if I have one big word with no spaces, I want to have that word wrap down after the available space is taken.

    For example...

    ThisIsAReallyLongPieceOfTextToBeWrapped

    would become

    ThisIsARea
    llyLongPiec
    eOfTextTo
    BeWrapped

    Can this be done strictly through XSLT FO? Or do I need to manipulate the data myself somehow?

    You could make a template function to do that manually, I don't know of a builtin method.

    Teach me Mr Fish.

    I'm not too familiar with the whole concept. Do you have some idea off the top of your head?

    Thanks

    Sorry, I forgot all about this thread.

    Are you using XSLT 1.0 or 2.0?

    As far as I know you need to use named templates and the <xsl:call-template> element.

    Example?
