PDFsharp & MigraDoc Forum

Is it possible to tell MigraDoc to break paragraphs in a table at a certain char, e.g. a comma?

Or is there some option to force a break of the paragraph if the paragraph is too long for the cell (Even if this might be in the middle of some text)?

Maybe I do not get your point.

MigraDoc breaks lines at spaces, hyphens, soft-hyphens, and zero-width non-joiners.

A comma will typically be followed by a blank and MigraDoc will break at the blank and after the comma. Nothing to do here in the normal case.

Insert soft-hyphens or zero-width non-joiners at locations where you want to allow line breaks.

Insert line breaks to force line breaks.

I know about that. The problem is that I have a very long base64 encoded signature value in one cell or some log messages that do not necessarily contain any of the mentioned characters.



So the solution is to insert some s after e.g. 30 chars to force breaking of the string?

You missed the point that you have to insert soft-hyphens, zero-width non-joiners or maybe blanks at suitable locations.

As an alternative you can insert soft-hyphens after 4 or 8 or so characters.

If you insert linebreaks after groups of 30 characters, make sure that 30 characters fit in a single line.

I already thought about that.


Probably not, I do prefer blanks in that case.


How can I check whether the string fits into a table cell or not? Do you have some reference script for doing that in MigraDoc?

By the way, thank you for your time
