hyphenate.verbatim.characters format for multiple characters?

In my PDFs (docbook-xsl v1.72.0 + fop 0.93),
<replaceable> elements
containing long strings do not wrap; this is particularly
noticeable in
narrow table columns. So I attempted to specify a number of
characters for
the hyphenate.verbatim.characters parameter.

My first question is - does this affect <replaceable>
text?

My second question is: each format I try gives an
"unexpected token" error
in fop. I've tried the following formats to specify space,
comma and period
as breaking characters:

    <xsl:param
name="hyphenate.verbatim.characters"
select="',','
','.'"></xsl:param>
    <xsl:param
name="hyphenate.verbatim.characters"
select=",
."></xsl:param>

Could anyone give a working example of setting
hyphenate.verbatim.characters?

Thanks,

P.

Hi Paul,
The hyphenate.verbatim feature only affects content in
programlisting, 
screen, and synopsis, not replaceable.

The other problem is that the hyphenate.verbatim feature
inserts soft 
hyphen characters, which FOP does not yet support.  It just
prints hyphens 
at each point.

I think you are looking for something more like
ulink.hyphenate, which uses 
a template named hyphenate-url to insert the character
specified by the 
ulink.hyphenate parameter after every character specified in
the 
ulink.hyphenate.chars parameter.   Since FOP doesn't support
soft hyphens, 
you will have to use zero width spaces, which do work in
FOP:

<xsl:param
name="ulink.hyphenate">&#x200B;</xsl:par
am>
<xsl:param name="ulink.hyphenate.chars">.
,</xsl:param>

Of course, this doesn't automatically work with replaceable
text.  You will 
need to customize the replaceable template to call
hyphenate-url.  And it 
will affect your printed ulink URLs too, unless you
differentiate the 
customization.
