How to generate Markdown without line wrap? #474

Closed rffontenelle closed 1 month ago

rffontenelle commented 4 months ago

I have a Markdown file as master doc that has long lines. I would like to generate the translated doc with these long lines, instead of having them wrapped in +/- 75 characters per line.

Adding the -o neverwrap option causes the PO file to have all strings with no-wrap flag and with a trailing new-line \n character. I'd prefer to not have the translation strings without the no-wrap flag and without the trailing new-line character.

Is there an alternative?

As far as I can see, as for now there is no way to do it.

It seems, it was supposed to be controlled by po4a-translate's --width option, but it was never actually implemented.

This was raised (#242) and implemented (0bf9652) in Asciidoc, by removing the carriage return after the fact... This request is understandable, as, just like Asciidoc, Markdown may encounter mis-formatting issues due to unlucky line-wrapping.
