Syntax

  %/


Purpose

The format item "%/" in an OmniMark string indicates that a break can occur at this point in the output according to an insertion-break or replacement-break rule if line breaking is being performed. There are no format modifiers for this format item.

Breaks can only be inserted anywhere in data content copied from the input to an ouptut stream and at points where the "%/" format item appears. Breaks will not be inserted under the following conditions:

The content of the referents is inserted in lines after the line lengths have been calculated and can make lines longer than intended.

OmniMark will never break an OmniMark string when no "%/" format item appears in the string.

When both insertion-break and replacement-break declarations apply, preference is given to the applicable replacement-break. The theory is that breaking between words is preferable to breaking within words even if the latter can be done within the rules of word division.
