I think I've solved this now. I added hyphenate="true" to the offending blocks, which looks as though it is doing what I want from it.

I'm working on a report PDF export and I've come across a trivial problem with what I suspect wil be a non-trivial solution. I have a table cell which contains an ID value: <fo:table-cell padding="1mm"><fo:block wrap-option="wrap"><xsl:value-of select="BANK_STMT_ENTRY/BANK_STMT_ID"/></fo:block></fo:table-cell> The ID is 26 characters long with no spaces. This is too long for the target cell so I'd like it to wrap. I notice that this is the default bahaviour for a table cell anyway, but I've added the wrap-action attribute just to make sure. The trouble is, the wrap behaviour seems only to be applied when the string has one or more spaces, slashes etc. How can I force a wrap on a continuous string?
