When the number is too long the pdf generator (Antennahouse) breaks the line

mm between number and headline are enough! So is there a way to size the
space between number column and headline dynamically when the number text is
too long???

I've posted to the Innodata Isogen Web site a simple Saxon extension that lets you estimate the formatted length of a string. This lets you do this kind of simple copy fitting, such as making sure a list accomodates the longest term in a definition list.
