Bug#880696: debian-refcard: PDFs have various problems (layout broken, missing spaces or line breaks ...) -- workaround
Hi all,
today I played around with refcard to get a solution (or a workaround) for this
problem (no progress for more than one year; sorry for this :-( )
The underlying problem seems to be somewhere in the tool chain, which is
somewhat complex here for the refcard, so this might somewhere between
dblatex, texlive-* and friends.
As it seems, strings within <literal> ... </literal> no longer get line
breaks, so several URLs are now too long to be correctly displayed on the
refcard.
Maybe someone can find the real cause of this, but I found a workaround
to fix this:
replacing all 'literal' tags by 'filename' !
The displayed output seems identical (means: apparently the same fonts are
used), and the URLs get their line breaks correctly as it was in version 9.0,
so there is no difference for the user, which looks as a sensible
workaround/solution for this problem, at least for the moment.
Since the freeze for Buster is not so far away, I would be willing to consider
this as a way to go, at least for Buster.
Greetings
Holger
