Actually... it does. Or at least, it did. ;-) I'm not sure which udev version introduced this option, but you can actually do line continuation with the backslash-newline pair; or at least, you could with whatever udev we were using when we removed that warning from the book. (That is, the warning that said you couldn't do line continuation.) > 2. How do we break up long <screen></screen> sections so the rendering goes > across multiple pages? This one, I don't know. And actually, doing line continuation is going to make this problem worse, since splitting a line means it'll now take more vertical space. > One solution would be to strip the bootscripts and udev files completely from > the book (at least for the pdf rendering) as was done before 6.4. Hmm; I think I'd be in favor of stripping this out of the PDF (but probably not the book). But as you say, this doesn't help with the table for man-db. What may work for that is to combine several (or all) of the ISO-8859-1 encoding languages into one row. But that may cause issues with width. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
