Re: Line breaks for very longg words - markdown to pdf or docx

[Bastien DUMONT <bastien.dumont-VwIFZPTo/vqsTnJN9+BGXg@public.gmane.org>]

For PDF output (via LaTeX), the solution may involve the macro \hyphenation (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/TeX/hyphenation). If you know in advance the problematic strings, you can add to the header-includes metadata field e.g.:

\hyphenation{7-6-6-6-7-a-2-0-6-0-e-2-1-b-7-5-f-c-4-4-b-6-3-c-7-8-f-0-6-8-7-3-7-7-6-9-9-6-a-4-3-3-0-2-5-6-2-5-9-d-1-9-1-4-3-b-1-c-e-e-c-b-e-b-f-3-e-2-7-6-3-c-7-b-b-e-c-5-d-0-0-3-0-8-e-f-9-e-c-3-7-7-c-1-e-a-2-1-0-4-8-0-4-0-7-5-2-9-d-7-2-6-1-6-9-5-1-2-8-a-6-b-8-2-7-8-2-e-e-z-a-e-z-a-e-z-a-e-a-z-e-z-a-e-z-a-e-z-a-e-a-z-e-z-a-a-z-e-a-z-e-z-a-e-a-z-e-a-z-e-a-z-e-a-z-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-e-a-1-9-1-9-1-9-1-9}

However, I'm not sure that it will work with strings containing numbers, and it will add a hyphen at the breaking point, which may or may not please you.

If you don't know the content of the document in advance, you could write a filter that collects all such strings (I guess strings containing numbers and letters) and creates a \hyphenation macro as above.
