PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hi,

I have a problem with text formatting in XTextFormatter. I find it necessary to use nbsp in my strings, but they get wrapped anyway. I looked into the code and found that blocks in XTextFormatter are built between the characters, that are whitespace according to Char.IsWhiteSpace(char).

How can I override/trick this behaviour? I wouldn't want to modify the PdfSharper code itself, yet I find the problem quite critical.
Will this behaviour change in future releases? Do you know of any whitespace character, that does not validate with Char.IsWhiteSpace?

Thanks in advance

Hi!

The answer can be found in the XTextFormatter source code:


Make a copy of XTextFormatter and modify it for your needs. In the line "else if (Char.IsWhiteSpace(ch))" treat NBSP as NonWhiteSpace.

Wow, I've missed that comment.

I think that's what I'll do, a copy of XTextFormatter. Switching to MigraDoc could be a bit more expensive.

Thanks for help, case closed
