Paolo,
Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, non-breaking space does not help me. Please consider my
example again:
<p>I have a line of text with a <b>formatting</b>…</p>
You see, there is no any space between word "formatting" and ellipsis
character, and there should not be any. That's the point, the word
"formatting" and ellipsis should not be separated. Even worse, I tried
inserting non-breaking space and it does not keep them together on same
line — because word "formatting" is bold and ellipsis is not, we have to
create two separate Chunks for them, and that allows ellipsis, being a
separate Chunk, to break away to the next line, regardless of the
non-breaking space, am I wrong?
Just in case, here is a simple code to reproduce the problem:
Document document = new Document();
document.setPageSize(PageSize.A6);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("c:/tmp/test.pdf"));
document.open();
XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, new
FileReader("c:/tmp/test.html"));
document.close();
And the test.html is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<body>
<p>__ I have a line of text with a <b>formatting</b>…</p>
</body>
</html>
And the desired behavior is demonstrated by browser when opening that same
html file: if the window is too narrow to fit that phrase, then the word
"formatting" and ellipsis go to the next line together, never separated.
Thank you very much,
