Hi all,

In the PDF glossary, long <glossentry><literal>terms with hyphens line wrap, but long <glossentry><literal> terms with underscores do not line wrap and thus break into the term definition cell.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.
This is how the PDF processor (Apache FOP by default) handles consecutive character data, it breaks at "-" but not at "_". It seems to obey the following line breaking specification:

From what I've googled a suggestion would be to use non-showing characters like zero width spaces (U+200B) in the term content in order to allow the PDF processor to break the line at some point:

Thanks Radu, that did the trick.
