Hello,

see the following example for this issue:

http://download.photoident.de/A02_0001.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://download.photoident.de/A02_0001.pdf

To hold the number and the name together, i use non breaking spaces ( ) between the number and the name parts. Only in front of the next number i use a simple blank to get a line break if nessessary.

... 5 Edith Gloxin; 6 Horst "Hottel" Morgenroth; ...

This works perfect without any HTML formatting.

By using HTML formatting the following non breaking space don't work:

... 5 Edith Gloxin; 6 Horst "Hottel" Morgenroth; ...

... 5 Edith Gloxin; 6 Horst "Hottel" Morgenroth; ...

I know,   are not supported according to "Appendix A - Supported HTML tags", but it works perfect until there is a html tag before or after the non breaking space.

Are there any other solutions to control line breaking?

Thanks for any information.

Best regards

Marco

It appears that the HTML tags are being recognized as word break locations.

You may need to preemptively handle the line breaking by measuring the text before adding it. Look at GetHTMLTextWidth() for this. Combine as many names/numbers as will fit on one line, then force a line break before the next number.
