Description Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2008-07-07 22:49:32 UTC 
From http://bugs.debian.org/476348:


When I run  
xml2po -e -o foo.pot foo.xml
I get a pot file where there are no line breaks within the msgid
fields, i.e. they might run over several lines.

Example:
msgid "this is a long line with is broken down on several "
"lines to ease work in an editor".

instead of

msgid "this is a long line with is not broken down on several lines to make live harder in an editor".

Ideally this would be modelled along msgmerge(1) command line option.

Reassigning to xml2po, as it has a separate bugzilla product.

Updated patch 

This patch fixes the (now) correct source file and properly retains white spaces at the wrapped end of lines.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2020-03-03 18:34:56 UTC 
gnome-doc-utils has been superseded by yelp-xsl, yelp-tools, and itstool.

gnome-doc-utils will not see any further development, hence closing as WONTFIX.
