522.0. "Line Not Wrapping" by DECWET::CUSTER () Wed Jun 17 1987 21:27

Subj:	DOCUMENT <format> tag

    When DOCUMENT processes my manual using the Utility Template, it
    refuses to truncate [I think she meant "wrap"] a too-long line preceded
    with the <format> tag, even if I put in a <line> tag before the <fcmd>
    tag (which should work in theory).  Any solutions out there?

522.1need to see the fileCLOSET::ANKLAMThu Jun 18 1987 11:536
    
    I would need to see the file. <FCMD> and <FPARMS> are designed to
    wrap. Other plain text inside <format> is not necessarily handled
    well.
522.2<FCMD> and <FPARMS> need inter-word spacesCLOSET::ANKLAMFri Jun 19 1987 10:3829
    
    The file sent to me used <FCMD> and <FPARMS> coded as follows:
    
    <fcmd>(ADD IDENTIFIER)<fparms>([parameter][/qualifiers])
        
    and
    
    <fcmd>(ADD PARAMETER parameter_name
        parameter_value) <fparms>([parameters][/qualifiers])
    
    There were no lines wraps because (1) text inside <FCMD> never wraps
    and (2) there were  no blank spaces in the <FPARMS> to provide line
    wrap points.
    
    
    <fcmd>(ADD IDENTIFIER)<fparms>([parameter] [/qualifiers])
        
    and
    
    <fcmd>(ADD PARAMETER) <fparms>(<keyword>(parameter_name)
        <keyword>(parameter_value) [parameters] [/qualifiers])
    
    This took care of the problem.
