Re: Line break algorithm

For a more complete i18n-aware solution I integrated ICU4J's word and line
break features into Saxon extensions in my DITA Community i18n project:

https://github.com/dita-community/org.dita-community.i18n

While this is set up to integrate with the DITA Open Toolkit, the Saxon
extensions are generic and should be useful in any Saxon context. Note that I
haven't touched this code since before Saxon 10 was released so it might need
a little attention, so if you try it and find an issue, don't hesitate to log
an issue.

Cheers,

E.

    Hi All,

    I have lines in my input that I want to add <break> elements to in my
output. For example, this might be the input:

    <xsl:param name="line" select="'Takeoff from Unlisted and Alternate
Airports'"/>

    and I want to replace a space with a <break> so that each line doesn't
exceed, for example, 35 characters

    <line>Takeoff from Unlisted and Alternate<break/>Airports</line>

    I am thinking the I can tokenize the line and then recursively build the
string back up from the beginning, checking its length. Any other suggestions
on a general-purpose algorithm that I can use in XSLT 3 would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

    Rick
