[oXygen-user] DocBook 'hyphenate.verbatiem' parameter and FOP

[Tony Graham]

Using oXygen 13.2's DocBook FO stylesheets and FOP and the
<programlisting> in the document below (hopefully the long lines didn't
get wrapped by my mailer), when the 'hyphenate.verbatim' parameter is set
to '1' in the transformation scenario, the transformation fails with the
following message:

------------------------------------
System ID: Untitled1.xml
Scenario: Docbook PDF duplicate
XML file: Untitled1.xml
XSL file: C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor
13\frameworks\docbook\xsl\fo\docbook_custom.xsl
Engine name: Apache FOP
Severity: error
Description: The process 'Apache FOP' ended with code: 1.
The error was:
ERROR - Exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: factor < 0; was: -1
	at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandlerFOP.transformTo(Unknown Source)
	at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandlerFOP.renderTo(Unknown Source)
	at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.startFOP(Main.java:174)

	at
org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.inline.TextLayoutManager.processWord(TextLayoutManager.java:825)
------------------------------------------------

This appears to be the same stack trace as error 3 in:

http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2011-December/003951.html

and also appears to be fixed in FOP post-1.0:

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49837

Installing a development version of FOP isn't really an option, so are
there any other ideas for how to solve this?

    <programlisting>     There was movement at the station, for the word
had passed around
     That the colt from old Regret had got away,
     And had joined the wild bush horses -- he was worth a thousand pound,
     So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
     All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
     Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
     For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
     And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight.
